Powering the Future: SeoulTech’s Breakthrough in Vibration Energy Harvesting

Researchers propose a novel design for electromagnetic induction type vibration energy harvesters, boosting efficiency and power output
January 15, 2025
Electromagnetic induction, a mechanism used to convert energy into electricity in energy harvesters, has been less explored in small systems. A new study by researchers from SeoulTech explores innovative strategies to enhance power generation in cylindrical electromagnetic induction-type vibration energy harvesters by analyzing magnetic flux gradients and proposing novel magnet and coil configurations to maximize electrical energy conversion from mechanical vibrations.
Electromagnetic induction (EI), or the production of voltage across a conductor by varying the magnetic field or by moving the conductor through a fixed magnetic field, is one of the most traditional methods of … Read More → "Powering the Future: SeoulTech’s Breakthrough in Vibration Energy Harvesting"
