Abstract
In this paper, a frequency-adjustable tuning fork electromagnetic energy harvester is intro-duced. The electromagnetic vibration energy harvester can adjust its natural frequency according to a change in the environmental excitation frequency without any change to the structure. In the frequency-adjustable range, it can make the energy harvester resonant with the environment excita-tion, and the output frequency stays the same. The frequency-adjustable tuning fork electromagnetic energy harvester significantly increases the range of frequencies used. The operating frequency of the centre can be easily switched from 9.2 to 20 Hz, enabling the application of multiple excitation frequencies. In addition, the output power and power density are significantly increased compared to a piezoelectric tuning fork energy harvester of the same size. The peak power is 23.59 mW at 9.2 Hz, the power increases by 14.85 mW, and the power density increases by 169.88%. The experimental results show that the electromagnetic tuning fork frequency-adjustable conversion energy harvester can make the LED lamp work.
