Electromagnetic oscillator with electrical and mechanical output

摘要

An oscillator typically includes several rotatable drive magnets and pivotable oscillating arms having respective follower magnets so that the drive magnets drive movement of the follower magnets to pivot the arms back and forth in an oscillating manner. A generating magnet or electrically conductive member may be mounted on each oscillating arm for producing an electric current in the electrically conductive member. Repelling magnets may be mounted on the oscillating arms with respective repelling magnets positioned to repel the first repelling magnet to limit pivotal travel of the oscillating arm.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a frame; a first pivotable oscillating arm which is pivotable back and forth in an oscillating manner; a first generating magnet which is mounted on one of the frame and first oscillating arm; and a first electrically conductive member which is mounted on the other of the frame and first oscillating arm and in which an electric current is produced in response to oscillating movement of the first oscillating arm to move the one of the first generating magnet and first electrically conductive member relative to the other of the first generating magnet and first electrically conductive member.
