1. A power system comprising:
- a housing with a chamber;
a member with an additional stored static electrical charge, the member is connected to the housing and extends at least partially across the chamber; and
a pair of electrodes connected to the housing, the pair of electrodes are spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of the member from each other and are at least partially in alignment with each other, wherein at least one of the member and one of the pair of electrodes is connected to the housing so that the wherein at least one of the member and one of the pair of electrodes is movable with respect to the other in response to a vibrational input.

Abstract
A power system includes a housing with a chamber, a member with a stored static electrical charge, and a pair of electrodes. The member is connected to the housing and extends at least partially across the chamber. The electrodes are connected to the housing, are spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of the member from each other, and are at least partially in alignment with each other. The member is movable with respect to the pair of electrodes or one of the pair of electrodes is movable with respect to the member.
