Popis: Electromagnetic generator as respiratory effort energy harvester is designed as a renewable energy source to generate a low power and exploiting human motion to extract energy. By selecting respiratory effort as energy harvester it can be carried out 24 hours as long as the electromagnetic generator is wearing on the human chest. It is because the electromagnetic generator functions when there is a motion of the chest wall. The electromagnetic generator basically constructed with two miniature dc motor generator, pulley, belt, gear and chest belt. The generator operates when there is change in chest wall circumstance during exhalation breathing process. The low power that produces can be apply on low power devices such as sensor or microcontroller. Simulation is done using Matlab Simulink to verify that respiratory effort able to produce the minimum required power to power up low power devices. Result from the simulation showing good outcome with 2.5mW of output power.
