Abstract

This paper presents experimental analysis prospect of using a vibration absorber for possible energy harvesting results. To achieve this goal, a classical pendulum-oscillator system (dedicated to vibration suppression) is modified by adding an electromagnetic harvester device. The electromagnetic energy harvester consists of a two fixed and one levitating magnets. The induced energy results from relative movement between magnet and coil, which produces a voltage in the coil by electromagnetic induction phenomenon. When an external excitation is applied to the harvest-absorber system, the levitating magnet will start to oscillate due to the magnetic repulsion of the two fixed magnets. The main goal of this work is to show induced energy of a pendulum-oscillator system with added harvester device, near the main resonance region. The influence of frequency of excitation and resistance load is shown. Additionally, a mathematical model of magnetic levitating force is proposed.
