A Numerical Analysis of Output Power from Magnetostrictive Vibrational Power Generator using All-passive Devices with LC Resonance

The vibration generators in the energy-harvesting systems provide very low power. This paper applies a magnetostrictive vibrational power generator and investigates all-passive rectifiers. This paper numerically shows that the proposed all-passive rectifier with LC resonance improves the output power from the magnetostrictive vibrational power generator.
