This is a fractal tuning fork, 3d printed so that its vibrating behavior
is
optimized. The material, shape and size all could be varied
adaptively
to maximize its vibratory energy storing cspability. So it would start
as a hard round blob at one end and gradually become an infinty of
springy
branches at the other end. If not a battery at
least it would make a cool bouncing tree statue.

Actually maybe this should be the inside out version
of this -- a hard sphere with adaptive springy
branches that go toward its center, attached to
another hard sphere at the center - so an adaptive
gyroscope. |

I read this as Turing Fork Battery, which is a series of magnets and coils secreted in the handles of cutlery of your local maths faculty...but you could do the knives and spoons as well. |
