Energy Harvesting for Wearable Sensor Systems: Inductive Architectures for the Swing Excitation of the Leg

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Sensor Systems: Inductive Architectures for the Swing Excitation of the Leg investigates several non-resonant inductive harvester architectures in order to find the magnet coil arrangement that generates the largest power output. The book is useful as a step-by-step guide for readers unfamiliar with this form of energy harvesting, but who want to build their own system models to calculate the magnet motion and, from that, the power generation available for body-worn sensor systems. The detailed description of system model development will greatly facilitate experimental work with the aim of fabricating the design with the highest predicted power output. 

MATLAB and Simulink are used throughout the book.
