description Summary: Wearable health monitoring devices can effectively capture human body information and are widely used in health monitoring, but battery life is an important bottleneck in its development. A full negative-work energy harvester based on the homo-phase transfer mechanism by analyzing human motion characteristics was proposed in this paper. The system was designed based on the homo-phase transfer mechanism, including a motion input module, gear acceleration module, energy conversion module, and electric energy storage module. The output performance in three human-level, downhill, and running states was tested, respectively. Finally, we have evaluated the feasibility of an energy harvester powering wearable health monitoring devices, and the harvester can generate 17.40 J/day power, which can satisfy the normal operation of a typical health monitoring device. This study has certain promoting significance for the development of a new generation of human health monitoring.
