Abstract :
For the first time, we report a reproducible, highly scalable, and highly sensitive broadband 1Hz~1kHz vibrated energy harvester with innovated self-alternation magnetic-flux (SAMF) and 3D-coils designs. Record high sensitivity of 2~6 mV/coil at very wide frequency range of 1Hz ~ 1kHz than previous reports (~1 mV/coil), record small magnet volume of 132 mm3, and the very fast transient time of <; 0.25 μsec are achieved due to innovated SAMF. Meanwhile, we also demonstrated 3D-colis stack-ability for output voltage enhancement. This vibrated energy harvester thus offers high potential for several kinds of applications, such as human motion, automotive etc..
