Design And Fabrication Of Pendulum-Based Mechanism For Energy Harvesting

The purpose is to design and evaluate a pendulum-based mechanism for energy harvesting, aim at converting kinetic energy into electrical energy.As global energy demand grows, there is a need for innovative renewable energy solutions.Our mechanism exploits the regular, oscillatory motion of a pendulum, inspired by natural oscillation.The device consists of a pendulum attached to a DC generator, where the swinging motion induced rotational movement in the generator, thus generating electricity.This study explores the mechanism's design, material selection and energy conversion efficiency.Experimental results demonstrate the system's capability to harness low-frequency kinetic energy, a common limitation in current energy harvesting technologies.By optimizing the pendulum length, mass and generator parameters, the system able to achieve notable efficiency.This study can be important to contribute to the renewable, sustainable, low cost and pollution free solution for generating electricity from mechanical motion.
