Abstract :
This paper develops an equivalent circuit of an electromagnetic velocity damped resonant generator that can be used to optimise the power available from such a system. The main focus is on the development of an analytical model of the electromagnetic coupling coefficient that links the mechanical and electrical components of the system. It is shown to be dependant on the position of the coil and is validated against experimental tests. Models for the remaining components, taken from literature, are also described
