A piezoelectric spring pendulum oscillator used for multi-directional and ultra-low frequency vibration energy harvesting
Abstract
Abstract Low frequency vibration is a ubiquitous energy existing in our environment, but a large efficient harvesting of which remains challenging. This paper presents a simple piezoelectric spring architecture based on a common binder clip structure. The harvester with pendulum spring allows the energy of the dynamic mass to be converted into electrical energy in the piezoelectric transducer. Due to the basic characteristics of spring pendulums, the proposed harvester can efficiently scavenge not only ultra-low frequency but also multi-directional vibrational energies. Modeling and design are conducted and a normalized expression of the harvester behavior is given. Chirp and human motion excitations are used to evaluate the proposed harvester’s performances. Simulation and experimental results are in good agreement. The proposed device could generate a high output power (13.29 mW) at a low operating frequency (2.03 Hz), which shows great application prospects in the power supply of wearable products, ocean buoys, etc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
