An inductive energy harvester comprises a permanent magnet magnetic field
source attached by a pair of compact spiral disk springs to an induction
coil. The springs position the magnet so that the induction coil
surrounds one end of the magnet where the flux density is greatest. In
addition, the magnetic flux emerging from that end of the magnet is
enhanced by a disk of magnetic material having high permeability and high
flux density. In another embodiment, the magnetic field source comprises
two dipole magnets arranged in opposing flux relationship with a thin
layer of high flux density, high magnetic permeability material located
in a gap between the magnets.
