An inductive energy converter includes a non-magnetic housing, at least one magnet and at least one induction coil disposed within the housing, and at least one spring coupled to the magnet or induction coil. Thus, the spring and the magnet or induction coil form a spring-mass system that oscillates relative to the housing when the housing is subjected to movement. The other of the magnet and induction coil does not move relative to the housing. In an alternative embodiment, human movement results in the depression of a push plate that is coupled to a wheel that causes a ring magnet to rotate relative to one or more induction coils or vice-versa. In either case, the movement of the magnet relative to the coil results in a voltage being induced on the coil according to Faraday's law.
