Abstract

Un générateur de courant, adapté à des dispositifs portatifs de petite taille, génère du courant électrique à partir des vibrations d'un élément vibrant portant une couche piézo-électrique. L'efficacité de transfert d'énergie de l'élément excitateur à la pièce vibrante est améliorée et le générateur peut produire, efficacement, du courant électrique en utilisant les mouvements du bras, etc., de l'utilisateur. On empêche les collisions secondaires entre la pièce vibrante (21) et un levier d'excitation (35), en rendant la masse équivalente du levier d'excitation (35) - qui provoque la vibration de la pièce vibrante (21) en donnant un coup à cette pièce (21) - plus petite que celle de la pièce (21). Comme la perte d'énergie de la pièce vibrante (21) provoquée par les collisions secondaires est empêchée, l'efficacité de la transmission d'énergie du levier d'excitation (35) à la pièce vibrante (21) est améliorée de manière remarquable. Dans ces conditions, on obtient un générateur de courant de petite taille, ayant la capacité de produire un courant élevé, qui convient bien aux dispositifs portatifs.
