Abstract
Aiming at the problems of high environmental vibration frequency, low output power and short life of the energy harvesters, a noncontact magnetically coupled piezo-electromagnetic rotary energy harvester is proposed in this paper. It consists of a base, a top cover, a rotating body, a cantilever beam, a permanent magnet, a coil, a hollow tube and a clamp. The novel hybrid harvester can produce both piezoelectric and electromagnetic energy at the same time, and in addition, it can efficiently generate electricity at low ambient vibration. Moreover, the piezoelectric material is protected from direct collision by noncontact magnetic coupling excitation. In order to conduct a comprehensive study on the performance of the piezoelectric-electromagnetic rotary energy harvester, we set up a rotating test platform to carry out systematic test verification, and to determine the distance between the permanent magnet and the rotating body and the number of permanent magnets on the rotating body. The test results show that when four permanent magnets are uniformly pasted on the rotating body and the rotating speed is 775 r/min, the piezoelectric and electromagnetic output power are 3.4 mW and 2.69 mW, respectively, and the total hybrid output power is 6.09 mW.
