1. A linear motion electric power generator for generation electric current from work done by an intermittent force comprising:

  • A) at least one moving magnet;

    B) a confinement means for confining within a confinement space but permitting said at least one moving magnet to move with a bi-directional linear, or approximately linear, motion within said confinement space;

    C) at least two coils, each of said two coils surrounding said confinement space, one of said at least two coils, defining a first coil, being spaced apart from another of said at least two coils, defining a second coil, and said first and said second coils being connected electrically so that current produced in said first coil as a result of movement of said at least one moving magnet is substantially in phase with current produced in said second coil as a result of the movement of said at least one moving magnet as said at least one moving magnet passes successively at least partially through said at least two coils.
