1. A linear electric generator, comprising:

  • a plurality of windings aligned along an axis;

    at least one magnetic armature arranged to be moved relative to the windings along the axis upon application of an external force; and

    at least one accelerating element provided at an end of said axis to apply a force to the magnetic armature in order to reverse its direction of travel and accelerate its motion, wherein said magnetic armature includes a magnetic body made up of at least two magnetic pole structures, wherein each of said magnetic pole structures comprises a pair of dipole magnets, and wherein said magnetic poles structures are joined together to form at least two north poles (N) and two south poles (S) of N-S alternating polarities arranged in series.
