Design and Experimental Investigation of a Piezoelectric Rotation Energy Harvester Using Bistable and Frequency Up-Conversion Mechanisms

Harvesting energy from rotational motion for powering low-power electrical devices is attracting increasing research interest in recent years. In this paper, a magnetic-coupled buckled beam piezoelectric rotation energy harvester (MBBP-REH) with bistable and frequency up-conversion is presented to h...
