Ultrasonic levitation is a novel technology for contactless handing of various objects. It is already used in various manufacturing processes where it is important to keep untouched surface. In this paper we introduce a model of so-called near-field ultrasonic levitation which allows ... Read More

Unbalanced Torque Signal Generation for Kinetic Energy Harvesters

L. Kurmann [1],
[1] University of Freiburg, IMTEK, Freiburg, Germany

The problem of an unbalanced mechanical torque signal generation using nonpolar repulsion techniques is studied. To achieve such an unbalanced torque, several stator and rotor geometries, consisting of nonlinear permanent magnet spring batteries are investigated. It can be shown that an ... Read More

Prediction of the Loudspeaker Total Harmonics Distortion Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software
