description | This paper investigates the possibility of converting vibrations to electricity. A numerical and an experimental study of a magnetic levitation harvester are proposed. The system can be highly efficient when the electrical parameters are correctly tuned. Mechanical and electrical interaction of the harvester is described by an electromechanical coupling. Fixed value, linear and nonlinear electromechanical coupling models are presented and compared. It has been shown that the nonlinear electromechanical coupling model is more suitable for higher oscillations of the magnet. The obtained results show that nonlinear resonance and recovered energy can be controlled by the simple configuration of the magnet coil position. The recovered energy from the top branch is significantly higher, but this solution is much harder to obtain. |
