Vibration Energy Harvesters for Powering Multiple Electrical Loads
This research investigates energy harvesters that can simultaneously power multiple electrical loads. An example of such an electromagnetic device is shown below. These devices have multiple vibration modes. Not all modes are effective in harvesting energy, however. This makes these systems an exciting and challenging research topic.
