Abstract
The present disclosure is of energy harvesting generators producing power to electrical loads by a novel method of the inline triggering of a horizontal pendulum that vertically oscillates for an established time duration. The horizontal pendulum component has disposed and fixed, a magnet whose travel is under the direct influence of the motion of the pendulum component. This oscillation of the pendulum and its disposed magnet is situated proximal to an electrical coil that has disposed a magnet enclosure with a disposed magnet that is in the center of the coil arrangement. The instant triggering is accomplished by a novel trigger whose end has a first trigger tooth that upon an external applied force comes in contact with a second trigger tooth that forces the pendulum downward beyond it release position to allow the pendulum and magnet to freely oscillate. Converse action occurs when the triggering force is instantly removed.
