Electromagnetic energy harvesters have been used to capture low-frequency vibration energy of large machines such as diesel generators. The structure of an electromagnetic energy harvester is either planar or tubular. Past research efforts focus on optimally designing each structure separately. An objective comparison between the two structures is necessary in order to decide which structure is advantageous. When comparing the structures, the design variations such as magnetization patterns and the use of yokes must also be considered. In this study, extensive comparisons are made covering all possible topologies of an electromagnetic energy harvester. A bench mark harvester is defined and the parameters that produce maximum output power are identified for each topology. It is found that the tubular harvesters generally produce larger output power than the planar counterparts. The largest output power is generated by the tubular harvester with a Halbach magnetization pattern (94.7 mW). The second best is the tubular harvester with axial magnetization pattern (79.1 mW) when moving yokes are inserted between permanent magnets for flux concentration. When cost is of primary concern, the tubular harvester with axial pattern may become a best option.

An electret electrostatic MEMS vibration energy harvester for tire sensors mounted inside of the tire tread is reported. The device was designed so as to linearly change an electrostatic capacitance between the corrugated electret and output electrode according to the displacement of the proof mass. The electromechanical linearity was effective at reducing the power loss. The output power reached 495 μW under sinusoidal vibration despite the footprint size being as small as 1 cm2. Under impact vibration inside of the tire tread, the output power reached 60 μW at a traveling speed of 60 km/h. It was revealed that a higher mechanical resonance frequency of the harvester adjusted within the frequency band of a low-power spectral density of impact vibration acceleration was effective for high efficiency harvest impact vibration energy.
