Electromagnetic resonant generator

摘要

In this paper, the authors present the energy production potential of a mechanically-resonant electrical generator system, which makes use of natural human walking movements. The characteristics associated with the human walk will be discussed first, followed by the electromechanical modeling approach employed. The choice of electromechanical architecture will be justified and the permanent magnet and moving coil structure can then be modeled and optimized. A demonstration device has also been generated and tested in order to validate the concept developed as well as the theoretical models derived.
