All Rights Reserved.Increasing demand for electricity, coupled with a greater understanding of the environmental impact of conventional power generation, has led to growing research interest on alternative energy sources. Energy harvesters based on playground equipment, such as the seesaw, has been proposed as an alternative method to generate electrical power. In this study, a new harvesting mechanism based on the electromagnetic regenerative damper is proposed as an alternative method to harness energy from a playground seesaw. The proposed design is intended for higher power output and efficiency, smaller dimensions, and ease of installation on a seesaw. Lab tests have been carried out to characterize the proposed design experimentally. The energy harvesting (stroke velocity-to-voltage) coefficient for the proposed seesaw-based energy harvester is obtained as 73.18 V/(ms-1). The regenerative damper is capable of producing up to 110 mW of power at 9.34% efficiency.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Alternative energy,Energy harvesting,Playground seesaw,Regenerative damper[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.23919/EECSI50503.2020.9251299[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
