Energy Generation
US20250261747A1
Abstract
Various embodiments are described that relate to energy generation. A housing can retain a spring coupled to a gear set. As the spring experiences linear compression and extension, the spring can cause rotational movement in the gear set. The rotational movement from the gear set can cause rotation of a rotational magnet. The rotational magnet, when rotated about a coil set, can convert an energy. The energy can be used to charge a battery.

GOVERNMENT INTEREST The innovation described herein may be manufactured, used, imported, sold, and licensed by or for the Government of the United States of America without the payment of any royalty thereon or therefor. BACKGROUND Electronic devices have a wide variety of uses and applications in modern society. These electronic devices use electrical energy to function. In one example, this energy is derived from a battery. As the devices are used, the battery level lowers and ultimately reaches a level so low that the electronic device does not function without a new battery, which can be expensive, or the battery being recharged. Therefore, it can be valuable to recharge a battery. SUMMARY In one embodiment, a system can comprise a linear hardware component that can be configured to experience a linear movement sequence. The system also can comprise a conversion hardware component that can be configured to convert the linear movement sequence into a rotational movement sequence. The system additionally can comprise an energy generation hardware component that can be configured to generate an energy from the rotational movement sequence. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Incorporated herein are drawings that constitute a part of the specification and illustrate embodiments of the detailed description. The detailed description will now be described further with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows: FIGS. 1 A- 1 D illustrate various views of a first embodiment of a housing; FIGS. 2 A- 2 B illustrate various views of a second embodiment of the housing; FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a processor and a computer-readable medium; FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of a method comprising four actions; and FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment of a method comprising two actions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one embodiment, energy conversion can occur from a housing. A person, as well as an item carried by the person, can experience movement. That movement can be captured and converted into electrical energy. As an example of this capturing, linear movement of a spring coupled to a backpack can be transferred into rotational movement. The rotational movement can cause a rotational magnet(s) to rotate. Rotation of the rotational magnet in conjunction with a coil assembly can be used to convert a kinetic energy (captured as a mechanical energy) into electrical energy. The following includes definitions of selected terms employed herein. The definitions include various examples. The examples are not intended to be limiting. “One embodiment”, “an embodiment”, “one example”, “an example”, and so on, indicate that the embodiment(s) or example(s) can include a particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, or element, but that not every embodiment or example necessarily includes that particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, or clement. Furthermore, repeated use of the phrase “in one embodiment” may or may not refer to the same embodiment. “Computer-readable medium”, as used herein, refers to a medium that stores signals, instructions and/or data. Examples of a computer-readable medium include, but are not limited to, non-volatile media and volatile media. Non-volatile media may include, for example, optical disks, magnetic disks, and so on. Volatile media may include, for exa
