TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a small (component volume 1 cm3, practical volume 1 5 cm3) electromagnetic generator utilizing discrete components and optimized for a low ambient vibration level based upon real application data.

TL;DR: In this article, an electromagnetic-based generator is presented for supplying generating power from human body motion and has application in providing energy for body worn sensors or electronics devices, and the experimental results show that the prototype could generate 300μW to 2.5mW power from Human Body Motion during walking and slow running.

TL;DR: Key research challenges to be addressed to deliver future, remote, wireless, chemo-biosensing systems include the development of low cost, low-power sensors, miniaturised fluidic transport systems, anti-bio-fouling sensor surfaces, sensor calibration, reliable and robust system packaging, as well as associated energy delivery systems and energy budget management.

TL;DR: The development and implementation of an energy aware autonomous wireless condition monitoring sensor system (ACMS) powered by ambient vibrations that has been successfully demonstrated on an industrial air compressor and an office air conditioning unit, continuously monitoring vibration levels and thereby simulating a typical condition monitoring application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the modeling and optimization of an electromagnetic-based generator for generating power from ambient vibrations, which consists of magnets suspended on a beam vibrating relative to a coil.
