摘要
Based on the research results of conventional rigid support nonlinear energy harvesters, in this paper we conceive a kind of structure with an elastic support external magnet with the intent to keep the system in the state of bistable oscillation, even under low-intensity excitation conditions. It has been proved that elastic support systems have better power output performance than rigid support systems when excited at low-intensity vibrations. In addition, elastic support nonlinear energy harvesters do not need real-time adjustment of the magnet interval towards the variable-intensity random excitation source, consequently achieving maximum power output and sufficient electromechanical energy conversion of the system.
