“…A nanogenerator layer was attached on the inner surface of the tire, and the energy was harvested by the bending of the piezoelectric film; however, the energy harvesting performance was investigated using a bicycle tire instead of a real vehicle tire [7]. Moreover, a linear energy harvester was presented to optimize the frequency band of operation based on a feedback loop control system [8]. …”

The collection of clean power from ambient vibrations is considered a promising method for energy harvesting. For the case of wheel rotation, the present study investigates the effectiveness of a piezoelectric energy harvester, with the application of stochastic resonance to optimize the efficiency of energy harvesting. It is hypothesized that when the wheel rotates at variable speeds, the energy harvester is subjected to on-road noise as ambient excitations and a tangentially acting gravity force as a periodic modulation force, which can stimulate stochastic resonance. The energy harvester was miniaturized with a bistable cantilever structure, and the on-road noise was measured for the implementation of a vibrator in an experimental setting. A validation experiment revealed that the harvesting system was optimized to capture power that was approximately 12 times that captured under only on-road noise excitation and 50 times that captured under only the periodic gravity force. Moreover, the investigation of up-sweep excitations with increasing rotational frequency confirmed that stochastic resonance is effective in optimizing the performance of the energy harvester, with a certain bandwidth of vehicle speeds. An actual-vehicle experiment validates that the prototype harvester using stochastic resonance is capable of improving power generation performance for practical tire application.

“…Manla, White, and John (2012) proposed a non-contact piezoelectric energy harvester to generate power from magnetic forces owing to the effect of the centripetal force. An output power ranging from 0.2 lW to 3.5 lW can be generated when the rotating speed changes from 3 rps to 5.55 rps through a prototype with an off-axis distance of 75 mm, a volume of approximately 17.74 cm 3 , and a weight of 46 g. Singh, Bedekar, Taheri, and Priya (2012) presented an onboard vibration energy harvesting system for a tire. The harvester element is a bimorph piezoelectric cantilever with a proof mass fixed on the harvester casing, which is disposed on the inner liner of the tire, along a plane orthogonal to the radial direction.…”

“…The number of studies conducted on nonlinear energy harvesters as power sources for the pressure sensors in TPMSs has increased in recent years. An electromagnetic energy harvester [27] mounted on the inner tire generated sufficient power to transmit tire sensor data multiple times per minute. Xuan et al [28] proposed a seesaw-structured energy harvester for TPMSs; the proposed harvester can effectively overcome the effect of high centrifugal forces and was tested using an average power of 5.625 μW at 750 rpm.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study is to develop and analyze a nonlinear suspended energy harvester (NSEH) that can be mounted on a rotating wheel. The device comprises a permanent magnet as a mass in the kinetic system, two springs, and two coil sets. The mass vibrates along the transverse direction because of the variations in gravitational force. This research establishes nonlinear vibration equations based on the resonance frequency variation of the energy harvester; these equations are used for analyzing the power generation and vibration of the harvester. The kinetic behaviors can be determined according to the stiffness in the two directions of the two suspended springs. Electromagnetic damping is examined to estimate the power output and effect of the kinematic behaviors on NSEH. The power output of the NSEH with a 52 Ω resistor connected in series ranged from approximately 30 to 4200 μW at wheel speeds that ranged from nearly 200 to 900 rpm.
