Based on the research results of conventional rigid support nonlinear energy harvesters, in this paper we conceive a kind of structure with an elastic support external magnet with the intent to keep the system in the state of bistable oscillation, even under low-intensity excitation conditions. It has been proved that elastic support systems have better power output performance than rigid support systems when excited at low-intensity vibrations. In addition, elastic support nonlinear energy harvesters do not need real-time adjustment of the magnet interval towards the variable-intensity random excitation source, consequently achieving maximum power output and sufficient electromechanical energy conversion of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
