Million Dollar Idea by Thiago Lataliste

Shake Generator

thlataliste — 2025-10-16 17:06:34 UTC

The initial power source for our company creates energy by shaking it, converting mechanical energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.

Form factor

wiwoods1 — 2025-10-17 16:28:48 UTC

we will make the form factor small enough to fit on keychain. coils will rap around a cylinder and a magnet will be free to slide up and down generating energy.

charging

wiwoods1 — 2025-10-17 16:29:25 UTC

the generator will trickle charge the tracker over time so it never runs out of battery and needs a replacemnet

Mini Tracker

thlataliste — 2025-10-17 16:31:04 UTC

This will be connected to a shake generator, which will generate trickles of electricity when walking, and will be connected to some item in your pocket, like your keys.

Available in market

wiwoods1 — 2025-10-17 16:31:37 UTC

Shaker generators and small keychain trackers exist, but nothing with them combined to charge the tracker

Raising the money

fiskaggs — 2025-10-17 16:32:24 UTC

We will present the idea to the STEM board and hope that they will like it and lend us money to fund our project.

Application to farm animals

thlataliste — 2025-10-17 16:32:31 UTC

Possible application to trackers on farm animals since they are actively walking so it will create a consistent source of energy.

Example in Action

thlataliste — 2025-10-17 16:37:02 UTC

Here is a quick example of what a shake generator is (we will scale it down and make it look different).

The problem

fiskaggs — 2025-10-17 16:38:20 UTC

Whenever you lose something important like your keys, the shake generator can power a tracker to find your lost item. It can also be aplied to livestock.

Materials

wiwoods1 — 2025-10-17 16:39:26 UTC

We will start prototyping with 3d printed models, and once finalized, we will move to ABS plastic or metal. We will need capacitors and circuit boards designed to charge safely and efficiently. We will also need neodymium magnets and copper wire to create the electromagnet energy generation

Reusable/sustainable implication

thlataliste — 2025-10-17 16:41:22 UTC

The shake generator is sustainable since you will not need to keep using batteries that will need to be thrown away; it can be created with reusable materials such as magnets, thin wires, and corks.

Similar inventions

fiskaggs — 2025-10-17 16:42:35 UTC

Something that is similar to the Apple air-tag is our invention. We plan to innovate it and apply it more items that people would want to track.

Steps for Creating a Common Shake Generator

Logo

wiwoods1 — 2025-10-17 16:50:39 UTC

Our logo is Super Powered Energy Established 2025

3D printer

zabrownstone1 — 2025-10-17 16:57:03 UTC

we will be needing a 3D printer to create our prototypes and 3D models.

Livestock Farmers

thlataliste — 2026-01-22 17:53:44 UTC

We can sell this product to a market of livestock farmers, where the shake-powered generator will solve the problem of unreliable energy and allow them to track their cattle 24/7.

Smartphone users

wiwoods1 — 2026-01-22 17:56:04 UTC

smartphone users can use this product to charge their smart phone in an emergency

Markets: Travelers

fiskaggs — 2026-01-22 17:56:37 UTC

We can apeal to travelers as the shake generator can be used to track luggage or charge your phone on the go.

Drivers

wiwoods1 — 2026-01-22 17:56:48 UTC

people who drive cars can benefit from this by keeping it on their keychain and trakcing their keys

Hikers in Emergency situations

thlataliste — 2026-01-22 17:56:55 UTC

A product can be vital in situations where their cellular device dies, and the shake generator will act as an emergency tool that can power their phone enough to be able to contact emergency services.

Market: Developing countries

fiskaggs — 2026-01-22 17:59:08 UTC

Developing countries with power Scarcity could use out device to generate small amounts of electricity.
