Abstract :
An ultra-portable power system driven by a mesoscaled internal combustion swing engine (MICSE) is introduced. The characteristics of a permanent magnet (PM) AC generator operating under oscillatory motion are shown and the velocity profile of the rotor is approximated by a simple mathematical function suitable for use in a FEA simulation. A generator topology is presented and the effects of certain parameters on the output characteristics are noted. The output power of the generator is estimated when connected to a basic 6-bridge diode rectifier circuit and the characteristics of the generator are experimentally validated.
