Mechanical-electric energy converter and watch part comprising this energy converter
First Claim
1. Mechanical-electrical energy converter comprising mechanical energy transmission means, comprised by at least one toothed wheel, means for transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy, comprised by at least one electromagnetic generator having at least one rotor driven by said mechanical energy transmission means, characterized by the fact that each rotor of each electromagnetic generator has a positioning couple which determines its rest equilibrium position in the absence of external couples, by the fact that the drive of the rotor or rotors by the mechanical energy transmission means is active only over a limited angle α
- 0 of the rotor, such that the rotor or rotors cannot turn by a complete revolution, but oscillate about their rest equilibrium position.

Abstract
A mechanical-electric energy converter comprising a wheel for transmitting energy which rotates at a low speed. The teeth of the driving wheel shift the rotor of the generator from its position of equilibrium, causing it to oscillate around the wheel. This converter can produce high angular velocities without a speed-increasing gear train.
