“…Harvesters with one rotor and two stators are also possible (Figure 3(c)). This type of coil shape is chosen in this study, as this shape has been optimized and used by several researchers in Ref [10], [13], [15] and [40]. For EMREHs, there are several key design considerations and practical limitations.…”

Rotational energy is widely distributed or easily acquirable from other energy sources (fluid flow, machine operation or human motion) in many industrial and domestic scenarios. At small scales, power generation from such rotational ambient sources can enable many autonomous and self‐reliant sensing applications. In this paper, three typical types of micro‐generators (energy harvesters), namely electromagnetic (EMREHs), piezoelectric resonant (PRREHs) and piezoelectric non‐resonant rotational energy harvesters (PNRREHs) are discussed and compared in terms of device dimensions and operation frequencies. Theoretical models are established for each type to calculate maximum achievable output power as a function of device dimension and operating frequency. Using these theoretical models, scaling laws are established for each type to estimate the achievable output. The EMREHs have a strong scaling effect both on device dimension (as L5) and on operating frequency (as ω2), whereas the PNRREHs are less so (L2.5ω0.5). PRREHs have a narrow band‐width as resonant harvesters, and are ideal for cases where the excitation frequency is constant. This study provides a guideline for selection and design of rotational energy harvesters (REH) when the device dimension and operating frequency are defined. The proposed scaling laws offer a convenient method to estimate the harvester performance for different dimensions and operating frequencies.

“…[14] Kishore et al developed an airflow turbine with relatively large dimensions (the chord length is 75 mm) for wireless and portable devices with the cut-in speed of 1.7 m/s. [15] Romero-Ramirez developed micro-rotational EMGs for human motion. [16] Multiple pole pairs and increased coil turns were adopted to omit the use of gear trains.…”
