Abstract

Method and apparatus for generation, transmission and storage of renewable electrical energy, the apparatus comprising at least one device providing mechanical to electrical energy conversion utilizing materials with linear electromechanical interaction properties, a type of device providing intermediate storage, a type of device providing primary storage, wherein said energy is transferred by means of inductive coupling of an inner hub coil and outer hub coil between said storage devices. Energy conversion and storage is initiated by motion of said energy converter which places the system in an operational state. In this state, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy which is delivered to the intermediate storage device for collection. When the intermediate storage device is sufficiently charged, said energy is transferred to the outer hub coil for inductive transmission to the inner hub coil. From the inner hub, the energy is immediately transferred to the primary storage device where it remains until the system is required to provide power to an external device or system. In addition to replacing or supplementing conventional sources of power, said system may also provide a means to collect and transmit system and environmental data.
