Alternator
0 linksElectrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
Electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
Occasionally, a linear alternator or a rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field is used.
Mechanically powered flashlight
0 linksFlashlight that is powered by electricity generated by the muscle power of the user, so it does not need replacement of batteries, or recharging from an electrical source.
Flashlight that is powered by electricity generated by the muscle power of the user, so it does not need replacement of batteries, or recharging from an electrical source.
This design contains a linear electrical generator which charges a supercapacitor which functions similarly to a rechargeable battery when the flashlight is shaken lengthwise.
Stirling engine
0 linksHeat engine that is operated by the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas between different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.
Heat engine that is operated by the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas between different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.
In a free-piston device, energy may be added or removed by an electrical linear alternator, pump or other coaxial device.
