“…The resonance frequency can be altered by adjusting the dampening of the system, the weight of the proof mass, or the spring constant [ 28 ]. Ibrahim et al [ 29 ] described a vibration-based electromagnetic energy harvester whose resonance frequency can be tuned to match the excitation frequency. The frequency was adjusted by controlling a rotatable arm with tuning masses at the tip of a cantilever-type energy harvester, thereby changing the system’s effective mass moment of inertia.…”

As industries need more real-time monitoring and interconnected systems, the demand for wireless sensors expands. Vibrational energy harvesters are a potential solution for powering these sensors, as vibrations commonly exist where monitoring occurs. Developments in low-power circuitry have also led to the feasibility of these types of harvesters. Electromagnetic harvesters are a standout among various types of vibrational harvesters due to their ability to capture kinetic energy in a low-frequency range. This leads to these devices being more applicable in real-world applications where ambient vibrations are typical of having low frequencies. Hence, extensive research has been undertaken to make electromagnetic harvesters more efficient and compact. This review study aims to examine recent literature that has made advancements and demonstrated the full potential of such devices.

“…Various mechanisms for maintaining resonance modes by means of vibrating oscillating systems with tunable characteristics were considered in the works [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. However, the systems considered in these works require precision parameter tuning, which is not always feasible in real technical systems.…”

In this article, a model of an energy harvester, the mechanical part of which is an inverted pendulum, is proposed. We investigated the stability of a linearized system. It was proven that the stabilizing control of the pendulum, based on the feedback principle, enables the stabilization of the system. We have identified the zones of stability and the amplitude–frequency characteristics. In the second part of this article, a generalization of the dynamic system for the case of the hysteresis friction in the mechanical joint is considered. The role of nonlinear effects within the design Preisach model and the phenomenological Bouc–Wen model is shown.

“…The present study proposes a new method to eliminate the external power supply by operating the IPMSM as an electromagnetic energy harvester. Energy harvesting techniques have been developed in the past decade, including piezoelectric [11][12][13] and electromagnetic [14][15][16]. However, no literature has noted that the torque ripple of a motor can be a source of energy for vibration power generation.…”

The suppression of torque ripples in an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) is essential to improve its efficiency and responsiveness. Here, we report on the development of an electromagnetic energy harvester incorporated into an IPMSM to suppress its torque ripples. The proposed harvester is driven to oscillations by the speed ripple of the AC motor. We derived the motion and circuit equations for the motor and the harvester according to Euler–Lagrange equations. We discussed the principle of electrical power generation and used MATLAB/Simulink numerical simulations to investigate the dynamic behavior of the proposed harvester. Our findings revealed that the active Coriolis force unnecessarily reduces the motor’s original torque, leading to unsuccessful power generation. Nevertheless, our results demonstrated that the reactive Coriolis force successfully suppresses the motor torque ripple.
