Ongoing studies are focused on improvements in the energy conversion efficiency of the
electromagnetic harvester and finding additional energy source through dynamic analysis of the various
movements in bicycle riding by using micro-inertial sensors. Further improvements will enable the
powering of smart-phone and location-based service applications while bicycle riding.
