Title:
RESONANT ELECTRICAL GENERATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003075441
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A resonant electrical generation system (10) includes a resonator (14), an energy source (18), and an electrical generator (22). The resonator (14) provides resonating movement in a resonating element. The resonator (14) can include a mass (26) and spring element (42). The energy source (18) is operatively coupled to the resonator (14) to maintain resonating movement of the resonating element. The energy source can be a pulsatile linear combustor (46). The electrical generator (22) is operatively coupled to and driven by the resonator (14) to generate electrical power from the resonating movement.
