Abstract:Variable reluctance energy harvester (VREH) is a good candidate of transducers to transform the environmental energy into electricity. VREHs act based on electromagnetic induction due to the variation of air-gap reluctance with the rotation of wheel. This paper presents an accurate analytical model based on magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) model and conformal mappings (CMs) for electromagnetic modeling the VREHs, which have a large air-gap. The geometry of analyzed VREH on both sides of air-gap including the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
