Abstract

This paper proposes a piezoelectric frequency-up-conversion (FUC) energy harvesting system induced non-contact magnetic force. The FUC system is composed of a lower frequency piezoelectric cantilever (LFPC) of 40Hz and a higher frequency piezoelectric cantilever (HFPC) of 85Hz. Both the LFPC and HFPC contain a magnetic proof mass at the end of the piezoelectric cantilevers. The experiment shows that the output power of the HFPC is 0.3 mW at 40 Hz and 1g, which is about three times higher than that of the LFPC. The FUC system is able to provide high energy conversion even at lower frequency vibration of less than 50Hz, which is more efficient compared to a conventional one.
