Study of the efficiency of electrical generator using ferromagnetic powders by electromagnetic analysis

Batteries or electric wires are currently in wide use for sensor energy supply. However, industrial waste caused by battery disposal are recognized as a social issue. In addition, the weight of the electric wires supplying electric energy to sensors can reach several kilograms in a car or several hu...
