Summary:Techniques for providing directional force induction in a handheld device for use in, e.g., personal navigation applications. In an exemplary embodiment, a magnetic element is provided on a mechanical support fixedly attached to a chassis of the handheld device. One or more conducting coils surround the support. Current is generated in the one or more conducting coils to accelerate the magnetic element relative to the support, causing a tactilely perceptible force to a user of the handheld device due to the recoil of the chassis from the movement of the magnetic element. In an exemplary embodiment, passive movement of the magnetic element due to, e.g., physical jostling of the handheld device, may be used to deliver energy back to the system for energy harvesting.
