1. An electromagnetic energy converter, comprising:
- a permanent magnet comprising two concentric rings which are connected by a base plate such that a face of the two concentric rings which is opposite the base plate forms a magnetic north pole and a magnetic south pole;
a moving element; and
an electrical coil that surrounds at least a part of one of the permanent magnet and the moving element;
wherein said moving element is configured such that any movement of the moving element from one of a first rest position and a second rest position causes one of opening and closing of a magnetic circuit which is formed by the permanent magnet and the moving element.

Abstract
An electromagnetic energy transducer comprising a permanent magnet (1), a soft-magnetic element (9), an electrical coil (6), and stop points (8a-8d). The electrical coil surrounds a part of the magnetic circuit, wherein the permanent magnet (1) and said soft-magnetic element (9) are arranged to form a magnetic circuit with a first flux direction. At least one of the soft-magnetic element (9) and the permanent magnet (1) is mounted for rotary movement about an axis (4) with respect to the other. End points of the rotary movement are formed by the stop points (8a-8d).
