Design and Study Performance of Vibration-Based Mechanical Energy Harvester and Reservoir
摘要
Nowadays, the worldwide scarcity of lithium-ion batteries is mainly due to the increased demand for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics that rely on these batteries. While many experts in the industry anticipate a resolution to this shortfall shortly, it appears that the battery dilemma remains an ongoing obstacle for electrical systems, likely to reoccur. A novel system has been proposed for harnessing natural environmental kinetic energy, which can be utilized alongside all mechanical amplifiers employed as vibration-based energy harvesters. This mechanical system operates as both a rectifier and converter, capable of producing unidirectional rotary motion that can be stored as potential energy. A magnetic transducer will be employed to convert the stored potential energy into electrical energy. The system presented herein serves as a mechanical rectifier, energy converter, and energy reservoir, proficient not only in harvesting vibration-based energy but also in storing it.
