Abstract
A kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has a fixing shaft, a rotating shell, an input member, and a fixing shaft driving assembly. The rotating shell is disposed on the fixing shaft. The input member is axially connected to the fixing shaft. The fixing shaft driving assembly is disposed in the rotating shell and has a first one-way bearing, a second one-way bearing, a first driving member, a second driving member, and a third driving member. Unidirectional transmission functions of the first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing are adverse to each other. The first driving member is disposed in the rotating shell by the first one-way bearing. The second driving member is disposed in the rotating shell by the second one-way bearing. The third driving member is disposed in the rotating shell and is connected to the first driving member and the second driving member.
