Modeling and Simulation of a Moving-Coil Linear Generator

This paper presents the flux analysis of moving coil linear generator using finite element method (FEM). Two generators, 6 poles and 8 poles are used to analyse and compare the flux distribution for air gap. The EMF for both generators are also analyzed. These generators will be used for free piston...
