Magnetic Induction Power Generation for Wireless Sensors Embedded in Gas Turbines Sponsored by Siemens Last Modified: Jul 02nd 2009 Investigators David Arnold (PI) Student Research Assistants Shuo Cheng Description Objectives To develop a high-temperature (400-500C) energy harvesting technology that can power remotely-located, wireless sensors within a turbine engine. Benefits Development of this technology will enable an indefinite power source, elminating the need to replace or recharge batteries for embedded/inaccessible sensors. Goals A compact (few cubic centimeter) electromagnetic power transfer system is proposed to continuously supply 1-500 mW of power within an operational turbine engine.
