Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007. Includes bibliographical references (p. 117). This thesis outlines the design of a prototype electromagnetic induction vibration energy harvesting device for use in a downhole environment. First order models of the necessary components for a generic vibration energy harvester are presented and used to predict the most sensitive parameters for the design of energy harvesting systems. A subset of the design tools created in MATLAB and Excel for vibration energy harvester design and first order optimization is introduced and used to aid in the design of an energy harvester specific to the downhole environment. The manufacture of a prototype design is documented and recommendations for future manufacturing processes are given. The prototype is then tested against the models. Based on the results, final conclusions and recommendations for future refinements are made, and other applications are suggested. by A. Zachary Trimble.
