Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) requires power supplies without recharging. We conceived the idea of generating electricity from the impact of magnetostrictive materials against a propeller. This study evaluated the energy harvesting performance and energy storage capabilities of Fe–Co alloy and Ni clad (Fe–Co/Ni) films that directly strike propellers rotated by the wind in a duct airflow. The 0.08- and 0.2-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni films generated powers of 28.1 and 89.4 µW, respectively. Moreover, the 0.08-mm-thick Fe–Co/No film generated power lower than that generated by the 0.2-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni film. However, at a wind speed of 1.5 m/s, the 0.08-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni film generated power, whereas the 0.2-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni film stopped the rotation of propellers and did not generate any power. Furthermore, the Fe–Co/Ni film was successfully charged in a capacitor, and the stored voltages were 108.3 mV for the 0.08-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni films for 30 min and 337.3 mV for the 0.2-mm-thick Fe–Co/Ni films for 1 h. It is also worth noting that no damage occurred to the surfaces of the Fe–Co/Ni films.
