description The aim of this article is mathematical modelling and investigation of chosen parameters of a small energy harvesting system designed for energy harvesting from car tire mechanical vibrations to provide power supply for various sensors, e.g., in tire pressure monitoring system. The energy harvester consists of three permanent magnets inserted into a tube made from polyamide material. Comsol program has been used to calculate the force between the magnets, the stiffness of the magnetic spring, and the natural frequency of the system. MATLAB program has been used to simulate the movement of the moveable magnet to compare it with the measurements. Finally, the parameters of the mathematical model of the energy harvester were investigated and validated on a specially prepared laboratory test bench.
