摘要:
An apparatus harvests electrical power from mechanical energy. The apparatus includes first and second load-bearing structures, a plurality of magnetostrictive elements, and an electrical circuit or coil. The load-bearing structures experience a force from an external source. The magnetostrictive elements are arranged between the load-bearing structures. The load- bearing structures transfer at least a portion of the force to at least one of the magnetostrictive elements. In this way, at least one of the magnetostrictive elements experiences the force transferred from the load-bearing structures. The force on the magnetostrictive element causes a change in magnetic flux of the magnetostrictive element. The electrical circuit or coil is disposed within a vicinity of the magnetostrictive element which experiences the force. The electrical circuit or coil generates electric power in response to the change in the magnetic flux of the magnetostrictive element.
摘要(中):
一种装置从机械能收获电力。 该装置包括第一和第二承载结构,多个磁致伸缩元件以及电路或线圈。 承重结构经受外部来源的力。 磁致伸缩元件布置在承载结构之间。 承载结构将至少一部分力传递到至少一个磁致伸缩元件。 以这种方式,至少一个磁致伸缩元件经受从承载结构传递的力。 磁致伸缩元件上的力导致磁致伸缩元件的磁通量的变化。 电路或线圈设置在经历该力的磁致伸缩元件附近。 电路或线圈响应于磁致伸缩元件的磁通量的变化而产生电力。
