Abstract: The present invention relates to a generator for an electronic valve for a storage vessel containing a compressible fluid (e.g., a gas cylinder). The generator is configured to generate electricity from the vibration of the storage vessel. The vibration of the storage vessel causes a mechanical motion that is converted into electricity. A fluid storage assembly for storing fluid comprises: a fluid storage vessel (10, 110); an electronic valve assembly (20, 120) for controlling the flow of fluid from the fluid storage vessel (10, 110); and a generator (50, 60, 150) for generating electricity, the generator arranged to provide electrical power to the electronic valve assembly (20, 120), wherein the generator (50, 60, 150) is arranged to generate electricity from reciprocal motion of the fluid storage assembly.
