Described herein is a method for and a device configured to generate an energy amount via a received magnetic field. A sensor may be configured to generate an output voltage based on a sensor reading by using a portion of the energy amount and a diode biased in its active region via a resistor may generate an operating voltage to shift the output voltage into a positive region. The resistor may be configured to modify an operating voltage of the diode by using a portion of the energy amount. An analog to digital converter may be configured to receive a combined voltage or to combine received voltages to convert a combined voltage such that a combined voltage is the output voltage shifted by or added to the operating voltage. A transmitter may transmit a sensor output based on the combined voltage by using a portion of the energy amount.

An electrical power generating platform/apparatus is disclosed. One or more platforms positioned on a surface, for example, highways. The platform comprises a plurality of strips. Each strip is incorporated with a plurality of windings wrapped around a metal core. The platforms can be connected to each other. One or more devices producing magnetic fields are affixed to a bottom portion of an object. When the object moves, the devices producing magnetic fields over or near or through the plurality of windings of the strips in the platform, that causes a generation of an electric current which is transferred to the power grid and/or power storage devices via conductors. The platform further comprises one or more resistive conductors affixed to a top portion of the platform, wherein the resistive conductors heat up on flow of electric current to melt the snow and ice that would otherwise accumulate on the platform.

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in at least one aspect thereof, comprises continuously charging a cell phone while the user utilizes the cellular phone for ordinary activities (e.g. posting to social media sites, texting, talking, etc.). The signals from routine cellular phone operations will send signals to a photocoupler or other dedicated sensor. The dedicated sensor will output current to drive a magnet mechanism which will in turn drive a fan that generates current to charge to a super/ultra-capacitor.
