I want to mechanically store and release vertical shock energy on a weight such that repeated shocks push steps through a ratchet. A constant force spring mechanism loads the ratchet until it is triggered and the energy is released all at once to throw the weight upward.
It seems like an energy harvester this obvious might have another name, or there's just a better way to do it. Any help?
I got clued into 'constant force spring' and 'torsion spring' in another thread, but I don't see them used in mechanical energy harvesters. Is this idea more easily accomplished some other way?
