    Abstract: The present invention is able to extract significant amounts of energy from a user who is walking or running while remaining discreetly hidden near an area of the body where many people already carry things (e.g. wallet, smartphone, keys). The user benefits by keeping their device(s) charged for a longer period of time without the need for external batteries. In addition, the present invention encourages an active lifestyle, which has been shown to promote good health and reduce the risk of many diseases.

    Abstract: This invention is an apparatus to produce electrical power from the wearer's respiration through the application of a circular cluster of Variable Reluctance sensors that are excited by a rotating disk holding a plurality of magnets arranged radially, on its face, and spaced uniformly about its circumference. The sensors' arrangement conforms to the circumference and are perpendicular to the face of the rotating disk. This arrangement produces corresponding sinusoidal voltages that are each converted to DC via a corresponding rectifier circuit. The resulting DC voltage outputs are then summed to produce a single power output, which is fed to a DC-to-DC converter. The rotating disk's unidirectional motion is produced by a ratchet gear system attached to a partially elastic torso garment, which is worn on the mid torso. The ratchet gear system moves proportionally, in response to the reciprocal motion of a wearer's respiration.

    Abstract: A power generation device includes a body, an electric generator, a hub, and an arm. The body extends from a first end to a second end and a longitudinal axis extends from the first end to the second end. The electric generator is housed within the body and includes a rotor. The hub is coupled to the body at the first end and is rotatable with respect to the body about the longitudinal axis. The arm extends from the hub such that the arm is rotatable with the huh about the longitudinal axis. The arm is pivotably coupled to the hub such that arm is pivotable with respect to the hub about a pivot axis that is non-collinear with the longitudinal axis. Rotation of the hub and the arm about the longitudinal axis causes rotation of the rotor of the generator to generate electrical power.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a knee joint power generation device based on bidirectional ball screw drive, and belongs to the field of biomechanical energy harvesting. The power generation device converts the rotary motion of the knee joint during human movement into a linear motion of the rope by the rope driving device, and then converts the linear motion into a rotary motion through a bidirectional ball screw to directly act on the motor, thereby converting the human biological energy into electric energy in the whole process to achieve power generation. The power generation device of the disclosure can meet the requirements of normal power generation during high-speed running and low-speed walking, has long-term high-efficiency and stable performance, can be easily worn on different people, has light overall weight and costs less loss of human walking metabolism.
