An Electromagnetic Energy Harvester with Integrated Magnet Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electromagnetic energy harvester with integrated CoNiMnP permanent magnet array is designed, fabricated and tested. Mechanical and magnetic simulations are performed to investigate the vibration characteristics and magnetic field distribution. The size and shape of the device are also optimized. CoNiMnP permanent magnet array is fabricated using electroplating technology instead of manually assembly which is compatible with MEMS batch process, and greatly increases the production efficiency. The output of the fabricated prototype is tested under different frequencies and the maximum open-circuit AC peak-peak voltage is obtained at the frequency of 124 Hz.

We present an electromagnetic linear vibration energy harvester with an array of rectangular permanent magnets as a springless proof mass. Instead of supporting the magnet assembly with spring element, ferrofluid has been used as a lubricating material. When external vibration is applied laterally to the harvester, magnet assembly slides back and forth on the channel with reduced friction and w...

متن کاملElectromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvesting Using an Improved Halbach Array
This paper reports an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester using an improved Halbach array. A Halbach array is a specific arrangement of permanent magnets that concentrates the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field on the other side to almost zero. Previous research showed that although the Halbach array has higher magnetic field density compared to normal mag...
