Abstract
An energy harvesting system made of array of miniaturized pseudo-linear oscillators, i.e., energy harvesting cells, each of which comprises a free moving hard magnet floating structure supported by sophistically designed magnetic levitation mechanism, is proposed to exact and store useful energy from the broad band natural kinetic energy based on Faraday'"'"'s law of induction. The array of miniaturized energy harvesting cell can be made using volume production wafer process. The miniaturized energy harvesting system as power supply can be integrated into wireless sensor system, or as part of energy supply subsystem, directly built into portable or wearable devices. Four integrated architectures of the proposed energy harvesting system with wireless sensor have been discussed. The scaled up energy harvesting system can be used to power city street lights by converting and storing useful energy from road traffic movements. The proposed energy harvesting system along with specified designed large capacitor and rechargeable battery can also be installed into vehicle to improve the vehicle'"'"'s energy utilization efficiency by harvesting energy from the vehicle'"'"'s movement.
