Outline of Final Research Achievements

Vibration type energy harvester using electromagnetic mechanism is a small generator which converts vibration obtained from environment into electric energy. In this study, the device realization with high power generation efficiency was aimed at by the fusion of MEMS structure and NdFeB magnet. In order to improve the power generation efficiency, it is necessary to minimize the gap between the coil electrode and the magnetic material. In this study, to minimize the distortion of the structure by the magnetic film, the structure which compensates the distortion was established, and it was proven analytically that the power generation efficiency drastically improved from the initial experimental result.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

一般に磁性体をMEMS技術と組み合わせることは困難なため,本研究の技術は他に類を見ないものであり,他の原理で発電を行うエナジーハーベスタに対して,低出力インピーダンス(電流がたくさん取り出せる)などの利点を持っている.残念ながら最終的なデバイスの完成には至らなかったが,本研究で得られた基礎実験の成果である磁性体の応力緩和構造は,国内外の学会,シンポジウム等で広く発表しており,日本のみならず世界の研究者への磁性膜プラスMEMSの研究の可能性を発信することができた.
