Wideband Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting from a Rotating Wheel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Harvesting kinetic energy from the environment is an ideal alternative to traditional electrochemical batteries as a power source for low-power electronics such as pressure sensors and thermometers. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a key device in preventing a flat tire, which is one of the most frequent causes of car accidents. The U.S.A., European Union, and a number of Asian countries are currently considering the implementation of TPMSrelated legislation. Existing TPMS are powered by a battery, but there are drawbacks to these batteries, such as their limited durability and environmental pollution upon disposal. For this reason, this chapter is aimed at developing a TPMS energy harvester in a rotating wheel.
