Modern systems will increasingly rely on energy harvested from their environment. Such systems utilize batteries to smoothen out the random fluctuations in harvested energy. These fluctuations induce highly variable battery charge and…
A wideband vibration energy harvester with multiple nonlinear forces is investigated. The nonlinearities are due to repulsive magnets and hardening springs, which gives rise to multistabilities between a number of energy branches. Not all…
Maximum output powers of vibration-driven inertial power harvesters reported in literature exhibit sizable variations, even when normalized by the device weight or their maximum linear size. To help establish a common benchmark, we present…
