Abstract:This paper experimentally examines the influence of hybrid excitation on the performance of vibrational piezoelectric energy harvesting systems on a bluff body with a variable cross section along its generatrix. A combination of vibrational excitation from a shaker and airflow is considered the source from which energy is harvested. Varied excitation frequencies and airflow velocities across five different masses were considered, each defining the natural frequency of the system. The system’s performance in hy… Show more
