This paper proposes a non-linear electromagnetic vibration energy harvester lubricated by magnetic fluid, which uses fixed small magnets to reduce natural frequency and prevent flipping, elastomers to prevent magnet damage, and magnetic fluid to improve output voltage. The experiment results show that the device with magnetic fluid lubrication has an increased output power of 291%.
Using vibration energy harvesters (VEHs) to achieve self-power is an effective method to ensure long-term use of sensor networks. This paper proposes a nonlinear electromagnetic VEH lubricated by magnetic fluid (MF) for low-frequency vibration energy harvesting. The VEH uses fixed small magnets to reduce natural frequency and prevent moving a magnet stack from flipping, MF for lubrication to improve output voltage under weak vibration, and elastomers to prevent magnet damage under strong vibration. In addition, MF and elastomers can increase the nonlinearity of restoring force, broadening the response frequency of VEHs. The motion state of the VEH is analyzed, and a crank-slider mechanism is used to test the output performance of VEHs. The influence of shell conductivity, the number of fixed small magnets, and length of VEH on output voltage is studied, and the results show that the VEH with an insulated shell, fewer fixed small magnets, and suitable length generates higher output voltage. The MF mainly plays a damping role in strong vibration but mainly plays a lubricating role in weak vibration. For experiments with 15 mm amplitude at 7.9 Hz, the output power density of the VEH without MF and lubricated by MF are 2.436 and 1.862 mW/cm(3), respectively. MF damping reduces the output power density by 23.56%. However, for experiments with 7.5 mm amplitude at 3 Hz, the output power for VEHs without MF and lubricated by MF are 0.065 and 0.254 mW, respectively. The output power is increased by 291% with MF lubrication.
