Estimating the term…
An electronic device, and a magnetic energy harvesting device and method of harvesting magnetic energy, for electric metallurgical furnaces and similar environments. The device comprises a conductor which is configured to become induced with electricity in response to a time-varying magnetic field. The field may be irregular, such as near a metallurgical furnace or a similar environment. The electronic device may be a transmitter in a metallurgical electric furnace. The transmitter may be connected to an environment sensor. The electronic device may be powered by the magnetic energy harvesting device. The magnetic energy harvesting device may a wire loop or a coil. The method comprises inductively harvesting energy from magnetic field fluctuations caused by a metallurgical furnace or a similar environment to wirelessly power the electronic device.
An electronic device, comprising:
An electronic device comprising a magnetic energy harvesting device comprising a conductor configured to be induced with electricity, the electricity for powering the device, in response to the conductor being in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field from an electrical component of a metallurgical furnace.
A magnetic energy harvesting device comprising a coil and a core, the coil configured to be inducted with electricity when in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field from an industrial source, and the core within the coil and comprising an end extending beyond the circumference of the coil to alter the magnetic field to help increase the amount of electricity inducted in the coil.
