Abstract

A comprehensive review of design and experimentation is presented in this research paper on sustainable renewable energy scavenging from Human body movement using Micro electromagnetic kinetic energy harvester to powering wearable, portable electronics, implantable medical devices etc. The body location which is chosen as the harvester is human hand between elbow and shoulder. Human body harvest energy in two ways i,e, mechanical energy and thermal energy. Mechanical energy is of two kinds one is static energy and the other one is kinetic energy. Due to motion or displacement or enforcement excitation the kinetic energy is extracted. The electric charges which remains imbalance on the surface or within a material is static energy. Thermal energy is extracted from the dissipation of heat from human body. Human body parts and organs generate energy through two types of activities are voluntary and involuntary. The energy which are produced by voluntary activities are high as people intentionally does work by body motion, walk, run. The generated energy by involuntary organs like heart, breathing, artery are smaller compare to voluntary energy harvesting. One process of energy harvesting is by use of micro electromagnetic generator, flexible and stretchable piezoelectric, triboelectric, electromagnetic induction, PVDF cantilever mounting on human body. The harvester prototype is cylindrical magnet L40xD10 mm size which is mounted on human hand for energy harvesting. While in movement of hand the produced wave forms by magnetic generator are measured and recorded for calculation. Analyzing the received data it has been found that the generated power by micro electromagnetic vibration generator from movement of human hand are 319 RMS μW and 2.48 RMS mV with a frequency of 0.25 Hz and power density of about 2.48μW/cm³.

Highlights

  • In this research innovation pursued Kinetic energy harvesting by a non- resonant micro electromagnetic generator based on free movement of human hand

  • Human body motion is a big source of energy scavenging which is innovated by scientists as a significant development[1]

  • The free movement of magnet an electromagnetic induction is produced and power is generated in the covered electrical coil

Summary

Introduction

In this research innovation pursued Kinetic energy harvesting by a non- resonant micro electromagnetic generator based on free movement of human hand. While construction of prototype a magnet is used, a cylinder type tube covered by electrical coil winding 500 turn and closed two sides of cylinder by hard paper made stoppers. The free movement of magnet an electromagnetic induction is produced and power is generated in the covered electrical coil. Through this technology power harvesting is received from electromagnetic generator. Scientists applied different techniques to emphasis on such low frequency vibration by developing lot of kinetic energy harvesters [5]
