Abstract
This paper deals with a development of an electromagnetic energy harvesting device for low frequency excitation. The energy harvesting device could convert kinetic energy of vibration into useful electricity for powering of wireless sensor nodes or autonomous monitoring and reporting devices. Low frequency of vibrations occurs in many engineering applications, e.g. transportation. The developed energy harvesting device transforms vibration into rolling movement of magnetic circuits against fixed coils and kinetic energy of this movement is converted into electricity on the base of Faraday’s Law. The design of this energy harvesting device with a rolling mass could allow a tuning up of operation frequency for very low resonance in range 1–2 Hz. The operation of this device in the frequency bandwidth could be used as autonomous source of electrical energy for ultra-low power electronics.
