Original Abstract Submitted
A tamper detection device (TDD) includes a current generation system positioned relative to a first portion and a second portion of an enclosure to generate an electric current when the first portion moves relative to the second portion, the enclosure contains a product object and the TDD powered by the product object; an electric storage device coupled to the current generation system to be charged by the electric current, the electric current is generatable when the product object is off and the TDD is unpowered; a controller that determines, within a time window since the product object is switched on and powers the TDD at a particular time, that the electric storage device is charged, generates, responsive to such determination, a tampering output indicating that a tampering event has occurred when the product object is off prior to the particular time, and transmits the tampering output to the product object.
