Abstract

Energy preservation is one of the key components in developing eco-friendly machines. In industry, the majority of machines lose a considerable amount of energy through mechanical vibrations. However, the wasted energy through vibration can be utilized as a renewable energy source to compensate for the overall energy loss. The research work presented in this paper discusses the ability to design a linear power generator utilizing Nd Fe-B magnets, which can generate energy through mechanical vibrations. A pilot model was developed and simulated to understand the efficiency and limitation. The results showed that the model could reduce 14% rotor bulk with a marginal impact on the current generation.
