Abstract (en)

System (100, 200) for generating and harvesting electrical energy from a washing machine (106) including a permanent magnet (102), an induction coil (108) and a wireless charging device (112), wherein the permanent magnet (102) is placed around a washing tub (104) of the washing machine (106) and, wherein the permanent magnet (102) generates a magnetic field, the induction coil (108) is placed inside of the washing tub (104) of the washing machine (106) and the induction coil (108) is configured to generate an induced current when the washing tub (104) rotates in the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet; said wireless charging device (112) being operatively coupled to the induction coil (108) and comprises an inductive antenna configured to transfer the induced current generated in the induction coil (108) to a storage device (314).
