Armature type electrical generators for self powered cell phones

Abstract

Self powered cell phones are operated with a rotatable crank shaft, the rotary motion of which is translated by cam or slotted slider crank-driven gear trains into pivoting motions of an internal armature, in reciprocal alternating opposite directions, whereby one or more conductive wire coils, supported by the armature, are caused to intersect the magnetic flux of one or more permanent magnets disposed within the cell phones, thereby generating electrical voltage and current for operating, charging or recharging the cell phone batteries. Recharging mechanisms are provided which can be manually or flywheel operated to impart the pivotal motions of the armature and supply the current generated therein directly to the cell phone batteries.

1 . A hand-held energy transfer device comprising:
 a flywheel connected to a shaft,   said shaft connected to a manually rotatable handle by a clutch capable of coupling and decoupling said flywheel from said handle, and   a second shaft connected to said flywheel.   
   
   
       2 . A method for imparting rotary motion to an output shaft comprising:
 coupling said output shaft to a flywheel,   coupling an input shaft to said flywheel by a clutch,   manually rotating said input shaft with an attached handle while it is coupled to said flywheel until the flywheel achieves a desired speed, and   decoupling the input shaft from the flywheel,   whereby the energy of the flywheel is freely transferred to the output shaft.
