• This invention relates generally to electricity generators and, more particularly, to an electricity generator that uses magnets to operate a generator efficiently while requiring little or no external power for operation.

Having an electric generator is important for small businesses who would be harmed if electricity is lost for more than a few hours, such as hospitals, banks, and other suppliers of critical services. Electricity generators are also import for residents in harsh climates, such as areas of extreme cold or heat.
