Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a single magnet system is used in existing electromechanical devices, then the device structure is simpler, but the magnetic field strength and energy conversion efficiency are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested magnet system where an inner magnet is placed inside an outer magnet, both sharing the same central axis. The inner magnet has a first polarity at its first end and second polarity at its second end, while the outer magnet has the first polarity at its first end and the second polarity at its second end, creating a nested configuration that strengthens the magnetic field without requiring a completely separate system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines two magnet systems (inner and outer magnets) into a single integrated structure that works together to generate the magnetic field. Both magnets are coupled to the oscillating object and move together, merging their magnetic fields to create a stronger overall field for improved energy conversion efficiency
2Loss of energy
If conventional oscillating motion harvesting is used, then the device can capture kinetic energy, but the conversion efficiency to electrical energy remains low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the periodic oscillating motion of an object (such as a vehicle suspension system or water wave motion) to repeatedly move the magnet system back and forth relative to the coil. This periodic action continuously induces electrical current in the coil, converting kinetic energy from the oscillating motion into electrical energy that can be captured and stored
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a dynamic magnet system where both the inner and outer magnets are coupled to the oscillating object and move together with it. This dynamic configuration allows the magnetic field to change continuously relative to the coil, maximizing the induction of electrical current and improving the conversion efficiency of kinetic energy to electrical energy
3Force
If a double magnet system with nested configuration is implemented, then the magnetic field strength increases, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent places the inner magnet inside the outer magnet, both centered on the same axis. The inner magnet's dimensions are smaller than the outer magnet, creating a nested configuration that maximizes magnetic field strength within a compact structure. The poles of both magnets are aligned to work together, creating a strengthened magnetic field without requiring excessive space or complex arrangement
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs asymmetric positioning of the inner magnet relative to the outer magnet in certain embodiments, where the inner magnet is offset from the exact center or has different dimensional proportions. This asymmetric configuration optimizes the magnetic field distribution and strength while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that does not require perfect symmetry
