Abstract

In order to recover the magnetic energy that leaks from an induction cooktop, this study suggests a straightforward and cost-effective magnetic-field energy harvester (MFEH) circuit. With the aid of the intended circuitry, the acquired magnetic energy is transformed into DC electrical energy. We harvested the magnetic-field energy (MFE) from the induction cooktop at various heights and locations of the energy harvesting coil. With a load resister of 46.6 Ω and a capacitance of 1 mF, the developed MFEH circuit, when positioned 2 cm beneath the cooktop, can capture an average DC power of 1936 mW. Placing the energy-harvesting coil 7.5 cm beneath the induction cooktop lowers the power output to 142 mW. For a range of load resister values, the MFE gathered at various locations along the energy harvesting coils is examined. Batteries can be used to store the gathered energy for later use. Additionally, the suggested device is shown to be capable of wirelessly powering low-power Internet of things devices and charging mobile devices. The suggested device differs from the previously published magnetic harvesting circuits due to the induction cooktop’s superior performance and capacity to gather MFE.
