Designing microgenerator with Ansoft Maxwell

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a magnetic spring for an energy harvester using Ansoft Maxwell, with specific challenges related to the force vs. displacement curve of the moving magnet and calculating output power from the winding. The goal is to achieve the highest linearity in the force-displacement curve to enhance power output. A user seeks assistance as a beginner with Ansoft Maxwell, highlighting the need for guidance on these technical aspects. Another participant suggests a relevant paper that could provide insights into designing a linearized magnetic spring. The conversation emphasizes the importance of optimizing the design for effective energy harvesting.

I am designing an energy harvester consisting of a magnetic spring.
The figure is given in the attachment.
I have done the magnetostatic analysis (using Ansoft Maxwell 2D). But, now I am facing problem with -
  • Force vs displacement curve of the moving magnet
  • To calculate the output power (Voltage+current) from the winding arround the magnetic spring

I need to design a magnetic spring with highest linearity (linear force-displacement curve) and to get better power output from the winding.
I am beginner with ansoft maxwell. Can anyone help me in this regard?

Thanks

I have also a similar problem with Ansoft Maxwell !
 
This paper 'Design of a linearized magnetic spring for body-worn inertial energy harvesters' may help you out.
Thanks.
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
