This paper reports on the electric power and the dynamic electromagnetic force produced by a linear vibration generator which integrates an opposite drive mechanism using magnets and coils that move continuously in opposite directions. An electric control that changes the circuit resistance of the power generation coil was able to regulate the electric power and the electromagnetic force. The generator serves as an energy regenerating damper that simultaneously performs power generation and vibration damping. By analyzing the generator`s performance in terms of its power regeneration rate and electromagnetic energy, we are able to investigate the advantages of using an opposite drive linear vibration generator.
