Two types of generator technology namely the rotary and linear are identified but due to the high maintenance and low efficiency of rotary, linear generator is preferable. Three linear permanent magnet generator designs with different types of permanent magnet shape have been proposed. Preliminary results for the air gap distribution and open circuit test are demonstrated and discussed are shown to be as expected. © 2013 IEEE. %Z cited By 4; Conference of 2013 5th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, ICITEE 2013 ; Conference Date: 7 October 2013 Through 8 October 2013; Conference Code:104628
