Magnetic levitation as energy harvester has been widely studied since past few years. It can be used to implement a low-cost and maintenance-free energy harvester. For self-powering a broad range of technologies for long periods of time, levitation-based harvesting systems able to operate autonomously. In this paper, a theoretical study is presented of a harvester conguration that utilizes the motion of a levitated hard-magnetic element to generate electrical power. The levitation used minimizes the loss caused due to wear and tear of mechanical part thus increasing the life of the system.
