1. A kinetic energy harvesting apparatus comprising:
a first magnet housing and a second magnet housing each configured to have a tubular shape and include:
an end-cap magnet configured to connect to an end of the magnet housing,a wire coil configured to connect to the magnet housing, anda central magnet configured to be located within the magnet housing and arranged so as to be suspended via the end-cap magnet, wherein the central magnets of the first and second magnet housings are positioned such that the a pole of the central magnet of the first magnet housing is vertically aligned in parallel with an opposite pole of the central magnet of the second magnet housing when the central magnets are at rest or are moving through the respective magnet housings.
