Abstract

A power generator unit is configured to respond to external motion that has a predetermined frequency range. The unit has a first member including one or more magnetic components and a second member including one or more electrical component, such as coils, movable relative to each other such that an electromagnetic interaction between the electrical and magnetic components generates an electrical current in the electrical component. A spring element is coupled to at least one of the first and second members to define a spring-mass system. The spring mass system is configured to reciprocatively move the electrical and magnetic components relative to each other in response to external motion. One or more properties of the first member, the second member, and the spring element are selected and adjusted based on the predetermined frequency range of the motion to maximize the relative movement between the electrical component and the magnetic component.
