摘要： A transducer for generating electrical energy from an expected force includes a single crystal ferroelectric material having a phase transition stress level. Mechanical stress is provided to this crystal at a level approaching the phase transition stress level, such that the expected external force will cause the phase transition. At least two electrodes are joined to the single crystal for receiving electrical energy created by the phase transition. The electrodes can be joined to conditioning and storage circuitry. In further embodiments, the phase transition is induced by an expected temperature change.

摘要： A tethered flying toy includes a ring-like frame rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the toy. The frame extends outwardly and upwardly from the plane of the toy away from the axis and has a downwardly extending skirt around the periphery thereof. The frame includes an inner circumferential edge defining an opening and the skirt includes an outer circumferential edge defining a border. The outer circumferential edge of the skirt extends in a plane parallel to but in upwardly offset relation from the plane of the inner circumferential edge. The frame also includes an S-shaped cross member interconnecting diametrically opposed portions of the frame. A tether line extends through an aperture formed in the cross member to a wrist strap which can be located around the arm of the thrower. An elastic band portion interconnects the wrist strap and the tether to provide elasticity for the tether during the flight of the toy. When the flying toy is not in use, the tether can be wrapped in a coil transversely around the frame in notches located substantially perpendicular to (i.e., 90.degree. offset from) the cross member to prevent warpage or bending of the frame during storage.
