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 configured to be induced with electricity, for powering the device, in response to a time-varying magnetic field from a metallurgical furnace.
A method for powering a device in an environment having a time-varying magnetic field, comprising:
A magnetic energy harvesting device comprising a coil and a core, the core comprising an end extending beyond the circumference of the coil.
