“…A further solution applicable in helicopters, tuned up to a 28 Hz excitation frequency, and aimed exactly at powering health and usage monitoring systems, was developed more recently in the framework of the European FP7 project ESPOSA. A larger, 350 g variant, allowed attaining 85 mW of maximal power output [ 100 ], whereas 130 mW were obtained with the lighter 115 g version based on a moving magnetic circuit inside a printed aluminium frame [ 101 ] ( Figure 11 b). A test on a shaker showed that the latter EH device, when mounted in the tail area of a helicopter, could harvest continuously an average output power of around 16 mW.…”

With the aim of increasing the efficiency of maintenance and fuel usage in airplanes, structural health monitoring (SHM) of critical composite structures is increasingly expected and required. The optimized usage of this concept is subject of intensive work in the framework of the EU COST Action CA18203 “Optimising Design for Inspection” (ODIN). In this context, a thorough review of a broad range of energy harvesting (EH) technologies to be potentially used as power sources for the acoustic emission and guided wave propagation sensors of the considered SHM systems, as well as for the respective data elaboration and wireless communication modules, is provided in this work. EH devices based on the usage of kinetic energy, thermal gradients, solar radiation, airflow, and other viable energy sources, proposed so far in the literature, are thus described with a critical review of the respective specific power levels, of their potential placement on airplanes, as well as the consequently necessary power management architectures. The guidelines provided for the selection of the most appropriate EH and power management technologies create the preconditions to develop a new class of autonomous sensor nodes for the in-process, non-destructive SHM of airplane components.

“…The estimation was performed for a coil, an additional permanent magnet and the permanent tip magnet mounted on the rotating pendulum keeping the geometrical and magnetic features of applied magnets (NdFeB 37) and coils (28 AWG); also, the repulsive orientation of magnets was taken into account. The aim of the simulation is to check how the change of additional magnet position influence on magnetic induction arose in the coil [40][41][42]. In the Figure 4 the layout of the magnets and coil and exemplary results in FEMM software are presented.…”

A concept of non-linear electromagnetic system with the rotational magnetic pendulum for energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations was presented. The system was stimulated by vertical excitation coming from a shaker. The main assumption of the system was the montage of additional regulated stationary magnets inside coils creating double potential well, and the system was made with a 3D printing technique in order to avoid a magnetic coupling with the housing. In validation process of the system, modelling of electromagnetic effects in different configurations of magnets positions was performed with the application of a finite element method (FEM) obtaining the value of magnetic force acting on the pendulum. A laboratory measurement circuit was built and an experiment was carried out. The voltage and power outputs were measured for different excitations in range of system operational frequencies found experimentally. The experimental results of the physical system with electrical circuit and numerical estimations of the magnetic field of a stationary magnet’s configuration were used to derive a mathematical model. The equation of motion for the rotational pendulum was used to prove the broadband frequency effect.

“…The new model has dimensions of (45×55 ×40 mm 3 ) and is able to reach 127 mW for 120 Ω coil resistance. For the excitation input, the authors mention that it was high level excitation since the aim was to test the harvester limitations which is in reality not reachable by existing vibration sources [63].…”
