Abstract
An induction generator (200; 301) having a magnet assembly (204; 304) for generating a permanent magnetic field, an annular coil (206; 306), a spring element (228; 328) and an air channel (212; 312) through which the permanent magnetic field passes, is proposed, wherein the magnet assembly (204; 304) comprises a first pole section (208; 308) and a second pole section (210; 310) and a magnet (214; 314) disposed between the first pole section (208; 308) and the second pole section (210; 310), the coil (206; 306) is connected to the spring element (228; 328) and is movably disposed in the air channel (212; 312) and the spring element (228; 328) is designed to cause an oscillation movement (224) of the coil (206; 306) in the air channel (212; 312) transverse to a magnetic flux (222; 322) of the permanent magnetic field inside the air channel (212; 312) in response to a deflection of the coil (206; 306), characterized in that the air channel (212; 312) is annular and is designed to accommodate the annular coil (206; 306) in its entire circumference.
