Design of an electro-mechanical portable system using natural human body movements for electricity generation
Year: 2003
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this article, the authors present the energy potential associated with an electromechanical resonant generator that uses natural movements of the human body during walking motion, as a means of increasing the autonomy of portable electronic systems. The article begins by characterizing the human walk in terms of frequency and hip displacement amplitude. A combined mechanical and electrical study is then conducted in order to determine an order of magnitude for recoverable power.
