Abstract
An electric generator powered by the opening and closing of a user's jaw. In one embodiment, a portion of an electric generator is mechanically stressed by a user's teeth when the user opens or closes his jaw.

In another embodiment, a magnet is passed through a coil when the user opens or closes his jaw to generate electric energy.
