Design investigation of a coreless tubular linear generator for a Moball: A spherical exploration robot with wind-energy harvesting capability

Moball is a wind-driven spherical robot equipped with sensors for in-situ observation of scientifically important and windy environments, e.g., the Earth's polar regions, Mars, and Saturn's moon Titan. More importantly, Moball incorporates an internal triaxial set of linear electromagnetic generator…
