Energy Harvesting from Vibrations for Distribution Using Vibration Proof Pallet

Abstract

For the energy source for distribution tracking system, we made a new type of vibration proof pallet that reduces vibration and in the same time generates electricity. We made a model of the vibration proof pallet supposing the load and pallet as rigid body, and vibration isolating mechanism as parallel link, and did a simulation to evaluate electrical power generation and vibration isolation characteristic.
