Abstract
A smartphone battery can be charged without an external power source by applying a portable charger that transforms mechanical energy into electricity by means of magnetic induction. Its essential part is a permanent magnet made of a rather expensive and, from the point of view of availability as well ecology, problematic material. The magnet is usually assembled from cylindrical parts. In order to reduce the raw-material consumption and to simplify the production, we propose a single-piece design in the form of a cylinder with notches. By means of the finite-element modelling, we optimize the dimensional parameters and prove that our proposal is more efficient than standard solutions.
