What is Energy Harvesting ?
And how do magnets generate energy ?
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Energy harvesting (also known as power harvesting or energy scavenging) is the process by which energy is derived from external sources (e.g., solar power, thermal energy, wind energy, salinity gradients, and kinetic energy), captured, and stored for small, wireless autonomous devices, like those used in wearable electronics and wireless sensor networks.
Energy harvesters provide a very small amount of power for low‐energy electronics. While the input fuel to some large‐scale generation costs resources (oil, coal, etc.), the energy source for energy harvesters is present as ambient background and is free. For example, temperature gradients exist from the operation of a combustion engine and in urban areas, there is a large amount of electromagnetic energy in the environment because of radio and television broadcasting.
Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF)—a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction. It is the fundamental operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors,generators and solenoids.

Produces 18Vpk +10 dBm RF Transmission (highest power available from any energy harvester) Up to 500m Range 433 MHz FM Technology CE Compliant, UL, CUL listed Various Receivers Available SIL RX Module DIN Rail Module Housed 4 . Relay unit IP68 Standard 22mm DIA Push Switch format KAPRION 10/22 is the most powerful energy harvesting transmitter available on the market. Supplied ready to go, it can be fitted to any panel (22mm hole). Each time the user presses the switch the internal energy harvester generates power and a unique RF signal is generated and sent to the receiver. The KAPRION‐10/22 produces a +10 dBm RF output power over twice the power of the nearest competitor thus providing a reliable battery‐less remote control system. When combined with the matching RF receiver, a remote control system with up to 250m range may be achieved. KAPRION 10/22
Applications
 General Industrial switching, conveyors, machinery, pumps
 Panel Mount Switch Replacement
 Hand Held Push Button ‘Clicker.’ KAPRION‐360 is the most powerful energy harvesting transmitter available on the market. Supplied ready to go, it can be fitted to any panel (22mm hole). Each time the user presses the switch the internal energy harvester generates power and a unique RF signal is generated and sent to the receiver.
The KAPRION‐360 produces a +10 dBm RF output power level, over twice the power of the nearest competitor, thus providing a reliable battery‐less remote control system. When combined with the matching RF receiver, a remote control system with up to 500m range may be achieved.

The unique dual piston alternating magnet action (patented) of the KAPRION‐MKRS (Momentary Kinetic) Rocker Switch generates power during both the magnetic make and break condition that occurs whenever one of the piston’s magnets makes contact (piston moving downward) with its associated coil’s magnetic metal core. Simultaneously the opposite piston’s magnet (moving up‐ward) breaks contact with its associated coil’s magnetic metal core. This unique feature generates up to 50 times more power than any other Energy Harvester. The KAPRION‐MKRS (Momentary Kinetic) Rocker Switch produces a +10 dBm RF output power over twice the power of the nearest competitor thus providing a reliable battery‐
less remote control system. When combined with the matching RF receiver, a remote control system with up to 250m range may be achieved. KAPRION MKRS Applications

SAFA9 series are new types of energy harvesting generators and battery‐less and wireless remote ISM Band transmitters. Their method of generating electrical energy is based on a class of homogeneous second order differential equations. The sinusoidal waveform rings down under the influence of the exponential variation of the base of the natural logarithmic system. SAFA9
Applications
 Wireless Security Systems  Car Alarms  Remote Gate Controls  Remote Sensing  Data Capture The Comepi SAFA9 system of battery–less and wireless limit and foot switches operate on a frequency of 433 MHz (ISM Band) to remotely control the switching of various electrical loads such as lighting systems and motors. The range of operation can be extended by utilizing repeater transceivers. The SAFA9 Comepi series are new types of energy harvesting generators and battery‐
less and wireless remote ISM Band transmitters. Their method of generating electrical energy is based on a class of homogeneous second order differential equations. The sinusoidal wave‐form rings down under the influence of the exponential variation of the base of the natural logarithmic system. By definition the generator is also seen as a mechanical oscillator and this mechanical oscillation that in turn produces the damped sinewave is controlled by magnetic spring (no mechanical springs used) action between the magnet and the adjacent focus magnet set. Comepi Foot & Limit Switch
Applications
 Battery‐less & Wireless replacement or conversion of wired‐in Comepi limit switches and foot switches.  Sanctioned OEM partner applications. The SAFA9‐OEMG series of battery–less generators operate at an average mechanical resonant frequency of 420 rads/sec. generating a damped sinewave of 67 Hertz. There are no mechanical springs and the generator’s magnet is held stationary until displacement, into either slow action or fast action, when ‘trip trigger’ action is actuated.
 Remote Control applications without Batteries.  Supplied ready to use; with optional AC or regulated DC outputs.  SAFA (Slow Action Fast Action) system of generator operation.  No mechanical springs; operation based on magnetic force field spring‐like action or spherical generator magnet angular displacement.
