Abstract:A gyroscopic power generator that generates 1.8 W by using a rotor of 100 mm diameter spinning at 500 rpm is developed. In conventional vibrational generators, which use simple vibrations of a inner pendulum, the output power has been less than 10 mW. Gyroscopic generators increase the inertial force by rotating the pendulum at high speed and generate about 100 times greater power than the conventional ones. However, gyro generators have not been able to operate under arbitrary vibrations at wearable sizes bec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
