Abstract

A device is provided that converts random movement of extrinsic oscillation into purposeful movement, such as torque or other motion that can be used to generate electricity. This device may include but is not limited to two major components: 1) a collection unit and 2) a transmission unit. The collection unit represents the interactive part of the device that interfaces with an extrinsic body which provides the randomized kinetic motion that drives an articulating arm, and may include a series of connected pivoting arms of different lengths. The transmission unit is the portion of the device that converts the random motion of the articulating arm into unidirectional rotation of a shaft that is converted into purposeful torque. The device may be placed in almost any type of environment to take advantage of any type of kinetic motion, including water, wind, mechanical movement and even human movement.
