| Motion Kinetic Generator? I Want It!
A boat in the water is always moving. Up, down, over and back. A kinetic generator could be kept dry, maybe placed where the motion is greatest like high up the mast, and would be putting out watts even at anchor. It could replace a genset for electric propulsion. At least theoretically it seems to me. Does anyone know if such a generator exists? Like a self-winding watch or a gyro generator.
