Abstract

A plurality of computer coordinated Electric Generators are arranged with salient sensors that detect appropriate motion then adjust the phasing and intensity of electromagnets of the Electric Generator to optimally convert variable mechanical motion into electric current. Certain embodiments of the invention may include control systems and methods for monitoring performance and conditioning electrical power in energy-recapture sources of mechanical energy, which would otherwise be dissipated, as exemplified by farms for energy-harvesting to provide available electrical energy. Said farms may include one or more energy-recapture sources. One method for controlling may include measuring individual source energy output of one or more energy-recapture sources and' measuring conditions of one or more energy-recapture sources via a controller that facilitates communication with one or more energy-recapture sources.
