Abstract: A pneumatic power generator configured for generating less than about 100 W for providing on demand power to a device connected to the power generator includes a pneumatic motor coupled to an alternator with a coupling member. The pneumatic motor has an inlet port configured to receive pressurized gas to rotate an output shaft. Rotation of the output shaft is transmitted to an inlet shaft of the alternator via the coupler member. As the pressurized gas causes the pneumatic motor, the inlet shaft of the alternator rotates to produce AC power. An electronics housing is coupled to the alternator and has an electronic board and at least one power storage device. The electronic board includes a rectifier configured to convert the AC power output from the alternator into DC power for storage in a power storage device, with power being provided from the power storage device on an on-demand basis.
