X Abstract

This paper addresses three human motions and devices for potential energy harvesting. Arm swing, horizontal foot movement, and up-down center of gravity movement during walking are analyzed for energy harvesting. Given commonality among the three motions, a general, linear-motion-coil, magnetic generator is proposed. Based on a finite-element model, prototype devices are designed and built for each motion to match their biomechanical characteristics. High-efficiency voltage multipliers are built and used as a battery charging circuit. Experimental results are reported

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
