Existing electromagnetic energy harvesters suffer from excessive volume and low power density.
“Existing electromagnetic energy harvesters suffer from excessive volume and low power density [23,26].”
From A Green Electromagnetic Energy Harvester with Up-Frequency and Unidirectional Rotation for Smart Pavement (2025) · cites this paper as [23]
Section 5.5 describes the proposed electromagnetic road harvester as compact compared with other designs, and Section 5.1 says earlier designs require substantially more vertical displacement. This lends some support to the size concern, but the paper does not establish that existing harvesters have excessive volume or low power density; Section 5.5 says their power output is likewise at the watt level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
