A device for generating electrical power, the device comprising a scroll expander with first and second scrolls configured to move relative to each other when a fluid is provided to an inlet at a higher pressure than a pressure at an outlet. The first scroll is configured to provide a magnetic field and the second scroll comprises one or more conductors in which electric currents are induced when the first and second scrolls move relative to each other.

A haptic actuator having a housing, a moveable mass, and first, second, and third electromagnets is disclosed. The first electromagnet is fixed to the housing. The moveable mass is suspended in the housing and at least partially surrounding the first electromagnet. The moveable mass has ferromagnetic material at a first end of the moveable mass, and ferromagnetic material at a second end opposite the first end. It further has a plurality of permanent magnets that are configured to magnetize the ferromagnetic material, such that when a current is applied to the first electromagnet, the ferromagnetic material of one of the first and second ends is attracted to the first electromagnet, and the ferromagnetic material of the other of the first and second ends is repelled. The second electromagnet and the third electromagnet are each fixed to the housing, and face opposite ends of the moveable mass.

A linear vibration motor includes a housing; an elastic connecting part connected with the housing; a vibrator supported by the elastic connecting part and suspended in the housing; a first permanent magnet positioned by an internal wall of the housing; and a second permanent magnet assembled with the vibrator and facing the first permanent magnet. The first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet are separated from each other. The first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet are such configured that the same polarities of the first and second permanent face to each other for producing a repulsive force between the vibrator and the housing.
