Inspired by shallow-water sloshing in a moving tank, a novel type of vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting device composed of a piezoelectric bimorph beam and an extension tank is proposed in this paper. The structure and working principle of the proposed device are provided. Then, the effects of different heights of water filling in the tank on the performances of the harvester are studied and analyzed. Experiments are set up to investigate the actual device performance by changing the base excitation frequency and load resistance for different water heights. The results show that by modulating the water height, the resonant frequency and bandwidth can be adjusted, which can enhance the energy harvesting performance of the device at different ambient vibration frequencies. This study provides some clues to improve the performance of the vibration-based energy harvesting devices.
