Pedometer-like Electricity Generator Contact: xu47@purdue.edu ZexiXu, Abbas Semnani Advisor: DimitriosPeroulis Team: HANDLE Assume the magnetic flux density B at the coil is： Assume the coil is square shape with side length 33mm. The area of coil is: Assume the distance between the magnet and coil is 1mm, Bo=0.1T is the magnetic flux density away from 1mm of the surface of the magnet. The magnetic flux density in the space is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the center of the magnet. Weight of the hammer: Assumption: when the hammer moves up, the magnitude of acceleration is g. The force from human is around 20N. L1=10cm，L2=2cm, F-Mg=Ma=Mg, F=2Mg In order to get the same amount of torque at one end.

It involves four steps including, design the device, calculate the parameters, manufacture the device and test the output power. • Original Idea • How a pedometer works? • Hammer moves down with the movement of human step. • The arm of hammer touches the battery and closes the circuit and generates a pulse. • The pulse makes a count for the pedometer. • Hammer moves up and opens the circuit. • Inspiration from the pedometer hammer AC power generator When the hammer moves, the DC current goes through load and extra current charges the battery. When the hammer does not move, the battery can be the power supply for the load. • Design • . • How device works: • Hammer moves up and down with the movement of human step. • A set of gears rotates with movement of the hammer arm. • AC generator rotates with rotation of gears. • AC generator generates AC current and flows in the circuit.
