Abstract:This paper presents theoretical analysis and design method of a linear vibrational electric generator that converts kinetic energy of vibration into electricity. The generator is intended for applications such as supplying electricity to sensors or small information devices that must function without batteries for a long period of time. The generator is modeled as a one-degree-of-freedom vibration system. It is shown that the maximum output is attained when the generator is vibrating at its resonant frequency … Show more
