An apparatus for mitigating the forces of friction. The apparatus includes a hollow hub having a void therein and rotationally mounted on a support, and a plurality of hollow spokes coupled to and extending from the hub, each spoke of the plurality of spokes having a void therein, the voids being in communication with each other. A magnetically sensitive substance is disposed within the void of the spokes and the void of the hub. A circular rim surrounds the spokes such that the distal end of each spoke is disposed proximate the rim without contacting the rim. A magnet is disposed on the rim in sufficient proximity and strength to exert a force on the magnetically sensitive substance within a spoke when the distal end of the spoke is proximate the magnet. As the hub rotates, the magnetically sensitive substance moves within the void of the spoke due to gravity.

A bio-energy power system comprising a selection process, an extraction process, and a transfer process. More specifically, a bio-energy power system that uses a selection process to create an energy enhanced organism. In some embodiments, the energy is extracted and consumed using an extraction process to create an energy rich homogenate from the energy enhanced organism and a transfer process to transfer the energy from the energy rich homogenate to the grid or to an energy storage device. In other embodiments, the energy enhanced organism is kept alive and the energy is extracted and consumed using a pure quartz water system for extraction and a transfer process to transfer the energy from the pure quartz water system to the grid or to an energy storage device.

A power generation device converts vibrational energy into electric power using a vibrational power generation element in which an electret is provided on one substrate of substrates configured to be relatively movable while maintaining a mutually facing state, and supplies the electric power. A vibrational power generation element has the same configuration as the vibrational power generation element and converts vibrational energy into electric power. The vibrational power generation element is connected to a light-emitting diode via a bridge-type full wave rectifier circuit constituted by diodes, a smoothing circuit constituted by a capacitor, and a light-emitting diode drive circuit. A power generation state of the power generation device using the vibrational power generation element and the like is displayed by blinking of the light-emitting diode.

A sensing apparatus may include a printed circuit board (PCB) having a processing unit, a positioning sensor, an environmental sensor and one or more inductive elements positioned within a region at an edge of the PCB. The one or more inductive elements may be configured to generate electrical energy for the processing unit by passing through a magnetic field. The apparatus may also include a spindle implemented through the PCB, such that the spindle protrudes through a substantially central location relative to one plane of the PCB.

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.
