Abstract
This paper presents two architectures of electromagnetic vibration energy harvesters. The first presented architecture of vibration energy harvester is comprised by a coil rotationally moving in magnetic field. Design goal is to produce the harvester capable of effective operation in wide range of frequencies and able to utilize vibrations from all directions in one plane. This architecture is capable of utilizing the low frequency vibrations as well. During the experiment, a peak voltage of approximately 1.2 V has been measured at 25 Hz harmonic excitation. The second architecture is comprised by cylindrical magnet moving inside the PMMA tube, along the axis of a coil wound around this tube. Magnetic mass of the harvester is suspended on magnetic springs on both sides. Ease of manufacture and customization of the harvester are emphasized in the design to allow fitting the parameters of the harvester to existing condition of vibration source.
