The Generator Componentry

The generator consists of two major components, the rotor and the stator. The rotor is the oscillating moving part while the stator is the static section. The rotor and the stator are separated by a small air gap to allow the oscillating movement between the rotor and stator to take place.

The permanent magnet is fixed to the linkage rod and acts as a rotor. Meanwhile the coil windings and the steel plate play the role of a stator. In order to make the magnetic circuit as efficient as possible, the magnetic field passing through the coil must be maximized. To allow for this the coil windings were selected from a  material type with a low permeability.

At the heart of the generator is the accumulator, which filters the generated output voltage through a rectifier and  a capacitor. The battery would be connected in parallel with the capacitor.
