The mechanical motion produced can be used to produce electricity through flexing of a piezoelectric material or through a linear generator.
In the simplest form of linear electric generator, a sliding magnet moves back and forth through a solenoid - a spool of copper wire.
He established the lattice structure of linear congruential generators in the paper "Random numbers fall mainly in the planes".
This design contains a linear electrical generator which charges a batterylike ultracapacitor when the flashlight is shaken lengthwise.
This can be done by using a direct driven WEC (wave energy converter) with a linear generator.
The wave power concept in the Lysekil project is based on a three phase permanent magnetized linear generator placed on the seabed.
The requirement on a linear generator for wave power applications is the ability to handle high peak forces, low speed and irregular motion at low costs.
The choice of and is critical to get good hashing; see linear congruential generator for more discussion.
This class of random number generator is aimed at being an improvement on the 'standard' linear congruential generator.
Brent describes the results of testing a linear congruential generator in this fashion; its period turned out to be significantly smaller than advertised.
