【 摘 要 】

We present a hybrid electromagnetic generator (EMG) and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) using a multi-impact approach for broad-bandwidth-frequency (10–45 Hz) energy harvesting. The TENG and the EMG were located at the middle and the free end of the cantilever beam, respectively. When the system was subjected to an external vibration, the cantilever beam would be in a nonlinear response with multiple impacts from a low frequency oscillator. The mathematical model included a TENG oscillator which can have multiple impacts on the cantilever, and the nonlinear Lorenz force which comes from the motion of the coil in the electromagnetic field. Due to the strong nonlinearity of the impacts from the TENG oscillator and the limited space for the free tip of the cantilever, the dynamic response of the cantilever presented a much broader bandwidth, with a frequency range from 10–45 Hz. We also found that the average generated power from TENG and EMG can reach up to 30 μW/m2 and 53 μW, respectively. Moreover, the dynamic responses of the hybrid EMG and TENG were carefully analyzed, and we found that the measured experimental results and the numerical simulations results were in good agreement.
