Investigation of mechanical motion amplification for vibration energy harvesting

Satpute Nitin, Iwaniec Marek, Narina Ramesh, Satpute Sarika

Vibrations in Physical Systems

2022

Vol. 33, nr 1

art. no. 2022113

Vibration Energy Harvesting is being investigated for autonomous sensors and actuators that mainly utilize ambient and machine induced vibrations. Recently mechanical motion amplification is incorporated for improving power to weight ratio of vibration harvesters. The present study is motivated to investigate mechanical motion amplification characteristics with different configurations. The parameters investigated are motion amplification ratio, force transmissibility characteristics, weight of the electrical generator, effective damping coefficient achieved and linear nature of damping. Numerical analysis has been performed to compare important characteristics of device operating without amplification to that of with amplification with different configuration. The study has been concluded with comments on application of suitable type of amplification mechanism depending on weight/space constraints and desired effective damping coefficient.

Energy harvesting shock absorber with linear generator and mechanical motion amplification

Energy harvesting shock absorbers can generate about 15-20 W of electric power for normal suspension velocities. However, higher weight, fail safe characteristics and space limitations have restricted development of regenerative shock absorbers to research prototypes. Power to weight ratio of regenerative shock absorbers can be improved by incorporating motion amplification. In the presented work, an innovative design of energy harvesting shock absorber has been presented that uses motion amplification for improving harvesting efficiency. Apart from improving electric power, the proposed solution is fail safe and can be easily incorporated in existing vehicles with only marginal change in suspension layout. Study includes detailed numerical analysis for vibration transmissibility to investigate comfort and safety. Further, a prototype has been fabricated and experimentation has been performed to compute electric power generated and comfort. Simulations have been performed on real size model with utilization of harvested electric power which indicates about 19% of overall harvesting efficiency.
