Durability is a critical issue concerning energy-harvesting devices. Despite the energy-harvesting device’s excellent performance, moving components, such as the metal spring, can be damaged during operation. To solve the durability problem of the metal spring in a vibration-energy-harvesting (VEH) device, this study applied a non-contact magnetic spring to a VEH device using the repulsive force of permanent magnets. A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine the potential energy-harvesting power using the magnetic spring VEH device. In addition, the characteristics of the generated power were studied using the magnetic spring VEH device in a high-speed train traveling at 300 km/h. Through the high-speed train experiment, the power generated by both the metal spring VEH device and magnetic spring VEH device was measured, and the performance characteristics required for a power source for wireless sensor nodes in high-speed trains are discussed.

“…Vehicle vibrations are used as source of kinetic energy [103] and may also power on-board sensors [46,104]. For example, in [105], the authors propose a prototype design for energy harvesting in roadway pavements using the vibration produced by vehicles passing from speed bumps. Kinetic energy from human, e.g., energy from heart-beats [106], is also used to generate energy.…”

Energy efficiency is vital for uninterrupted long-term operation of wireless underground communication nodes in the field of decision agriculture. In this paper, energy harvesting and wireless power transfer techniques are discussed with applications in underground wireless communications (UWC). Various external wireless power transfer techniques are explored. Moreover, key energy harvesting technologies are presented that utilize available energy sources in the field such as vibration, solar, and wind. In this regard, the Electromagnetic (EM)- and Magnetic Induction (MI)-based approaches are explained. Furthermore, the vibration-based energy harvesting models are reviewed as well. These energy harvesting approaches lead to design of an efficient wireless underground communication system to power underground nodes for prolonged field operation in decision agriculture.

An electromagnetic energy harvesting device was studied based on the design parameters of an energy harvesting device for the power source of wireless sensors node on the rolling stock. The characteristics of the generated power by the energy harvesting device were tested using the laboratory equipment and a rolling stock (a high-speed train). First, a cantilever beam energy harvesting device, which allows for easy adjustment of the length according to the frequency and the power according to the cantilever beam materials, was researched. In addition, the new design for a practical resonant energy harvesting device for the railroad system was performed. To realize the performance of the practical resonant energy harvesting device, the generated power characteristics of the energy harvesting device were tested according to the moving displacement, the number of coil turns, and the initial coil displacement between the coil and magnet. The evaluation of the performance of the manufactured resonant energy harvesting device for the railroad system, which the parameters were determined based on the test results, was conducted under real driving conditions in the high-speed train, which was traveling at 300 km/h. Finally, this study analyzed whether the power generated could be applied to the wireless sensor nodes for the railroad system.
