Magnetic tuning of a kinetic energy harvester using variable reluctance

In this paper we present a new technique for tuning the resonant frequency of an energy harvester using a variable reluctance device which changes the strain in a cantilever beam to alter its spring constant. In order for energy harvesting devices to be able to operate reliably in many applications...
