SENSOR DEVICES POWERED BY INHERENT MOTION OF EXTERNAL DEVICES

A sensor device can include an energy storage device that provides power when charged. The sensor device can also include a first sensor coupled to the energy storage device, where the first sensor measures at least one first parameter when receiving the power. The sensor device can further include a wire having a first portion and a second portion, where the first portion of the wire is coupled to the energy storage device, where the second portion of the wire is disposed proximate to the at least one magnet, where relative motion between the second portion of the wire and the at least one magnet induces current in the wire, where the current induced in the second portion of the wire flows to the energy storage device through the first portion of the wire to charge the energy storage device.
