Oscillating Coil Induction Generator for Low-Noise Energy Conversion

The patent inverts the conventional approach by moving the coil instead of the magnet system. The coil assembly with permanent magnets is moved relative to the stationary coil windings, reversing the traditional roles of moving and stationary components. This inversion reduces the mass of the moving part while maintaining electromagnetic induction functionality.

The patent replaces the mechanical movement of heavy magnet systems with an oscillating coil assembly driven by minimal mechanical input. The spring element provides the necessary oscillation without requiring heavy mechanical actuators, substituting complex mechanical drive systems with a simple elastic oscillation mechanism.

The patent implements partial magnetic polarity reversal by oscillating the coil assembly through a limited angular range rather than completing full 360-degree rotations. The spring element naturally limits the oscillation amplitude, achieving sufficient electromagnetic induction without the excessive mechanical action required for complete polarity reversal in conventional systems.

The patent employs periodic oscillation of the coil assembly driven by the spring element. This periodic motion continuously reverses magnetic polarity through repeated oscillations rather than single complete reversals, maintaining energy generation while reducing mechanical stress and resonance issues associated with abrupt complete reversals.

The patent nests the permanent magnets within the coil assembly, with the magnets positioned inside the stationary coil windings. This nested configuration ensures that the moving permanent magnets are always surrounded by the stationary coils, maximizing magnetic field exposure throughout the oscillation range without requiring complex external magnetic circuit arrangements.

The patent transitions from linear or radial magnetic field configurations to a three-dimensional nested arrangement where permanent magnets oscillate within the volume enclosed by stationary coils. This spatial arrangement in multiple dimensions ensures comprehensive magnetic field exposure during oscillation while maintaining a compact structure.

The spring element serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the oscillation drive mechanism, provides mechanical deflection for force introduction, and serves as part of the magnetic circuit. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mechanical deflection components, maintaining the flat design while achieving the necessary mechanical action.

The patent merges the oscillation drive mechanism with the force introduction mechanism by using the spring element to directly couple user input with coil oscillation. This combination integrates multiple mechanical functions into a single element, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining the compact flat form factor required for wall switch applications.
