Abstract
This Letter proposes a compact bistable galloping oscillator for achieving enhanced power generation from concurrent wind and base vibration. The harvester consists of a D-shaped bluff body attached to a piezoelectric cantilever, with magnetic interaction introduced between the bluff body and a fixed windward prism. Both theoretical analysis and experiment demonstrate the remarkably broadened synchronization bandwidth for concurrent energy harvesting. In the experiment, the voltage steadily increases from 26.6 V at 8.5 Hz to 40.7 V at 12 Hz, achieving a 10 times wider bandwidth than the linear galloping harvester.
