Researchers at Satbayev University are developing a compact converter of environmental mechanical vibrations into electrical energy. The project is an important step in the development of green technologies. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan.
The scientists want to create a converter that operates in the range from tens to several hundred hertz.
We are working on a device that will efficiently convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy and be used as an autonomous power source. This will ensure the continuous and reliable operation of IoT sensors in remote regions.
The ministry explained that an electrical signal arises inside the device during the relative movement of the coil and magnets. Engineers are tuning the system for stable operation under various vibrations.
Project implementation stages:
- device circuit development
- creation of a 3D model and a mathematical model
- manufacturing of a prototype
- bench experiments
After bench tests are completed, the developers will choose the final prototype with the required parameters. Later, they plan to obtain a patent for the converter.
