Abstract

In this study, a magnetostrictive vibrational power generator was proposed for high-frequency vibration occurring in a machine tool and high-efficiency power conversion circuit for a battery-free wireless sensor. A conventional device was miniaturized according to the scale effect, and a device composed of a Fe-Ga alloy plate, of 2×0.25×8 mm3 with a frame of 0.5 mm thickness, was fabricated and evaluated. As a result, a generated voltage of 2 V and effective power of 234 μW were confirmed at a vibration of 522 Hz and 10 m/s2. In addition, the operating principle was verified in the power conversion circuit composed of an LC circuit (resonant circuit), a diode and a storage capacitor. As a result, it was confirmed that by using a large inductance, the Q value could be increased, and a considerable amount of energy could be stored in a 330 μF capacitor.
