1st report of a study on gyroscopic power generator: Prototype and its fundamental characteristics

The largest problem in realizing a ubiquitous information system is the energy supply. In order to solve this problem, a gyroscopic power generator that amplifies the input vibration and makes the magnet rotate at high speed has been developed. The basic structure is a "Dynabee" with a magnet and a solenoid. In addition, the generator was made to work as a motor, which was started automatically by providing an initial velocity. The ability to generate 1 W of power from vibration, the frequency of which is as low as 2 Hz, as well as the ability to charge a mobile phone were demonstrated.
