Thank you guys for some of the ideas and the insight.
I'm truly in awe of what you guys are able to do in the electrical engineering field.Being a machinist for many decades has allowed me a glimpse into what you guys do. I've had the privilege of working next to lots of bright people and I've always come out the better for it.

 

So you say I'm on the verge of making a Nobel prize winning discovery ehh?
This day keeps getting better and better.
I'm familiar with the perpetual motion machine concept. Energy harvesting is something I'll have to read up on.
I do appreciate you guys being gentle but "can't" is a dirty word in my house.
We all know there are no free lunches in nature and that the price will have to be paid somewhere, so I'm thinking the rechargeable button battery may be the one to pay.

If you are going to have a real power source available, then ditch the motor idea and check out Nitinol wire. You will need a return spring as well.,

 

Certainly the Nitinol wire is a great idea. AND simpler and more durable.
And wile I don't go around saying "can't" the laws of physics are brutally enforced by nature. and then there are cost barriers as well, and those are also often harsh as well.

 

Lookup Nitinol butterfly.
