Abstract
Wearable devices realize health monitoring, information transmission, etc. In this study, the human-friendliness, adaptability, reliability, and economy (HARE) principle for designing human energy harvesters is first proposed and then a biomechanical energy harvester (BMEH) is proposed to recover the knee negative energy to generate electricity. The proposed BMEH is mounted on the waist of the human body and connected to the ankles by ropes for driving. Double-rotor mechanism and half-wave rectification mechanism design effectively improves energy conversion efficiency with higher power output density for more stable power output. The experimental results demonstrate that the double-rotor mechanism increases the output power of the BMEH by 70% compared to the single magnet-rotor mechanism. And the output power density of BMEH reaches 0.07 W/kg at a speed of 7km/h. Furthermore, the BMEH demonstrates the excitation mode detection accuracy of 99.8% based on the Gate Recurrent Unit deep learning model with optimal parameters.
