Design and Fabrication of Power Generation Shock Absorber

An innovative shock absorber design is proposed that can harvest energy from vehicle suspension vibrations using a mechanical motion rectifier to convert oscillatory motion into unidirectional rotation of an energy generator. A dynamic model is created to analyze the properties of the motion rectifier and its ability to simultaneously analyze electrical and mechanical components. Both simulations and experiments on a prototype verify that it achieves over 60% efficiency at high frequencies, much better than conventional regenerative shock absorbers.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF POWER

GENERATION SHOCK ABSORBER


SYNOPSIS
Energy-harvesting shock absorber is able to recover the energy otherwise dissipated in
the suspension vibration while simultaneously suppress the vibration induced by road roughness.
It can work as a controllable damper as well as an energy generator. An innovative design of
regenerative shock absorbers is proposed with the advantage of significantly improving the
energy harvesting efficiency and reducing the impact forces caused by oscillation. The key
component is a unique motion mechanism, which we called mechanical motion rectifier
(MMR), to convert the oscillatory vibration into unidirectional rotation of the generator. An
implementation of motion rectifier based harvester with high compactness is introduced and
prototyped. A dynamic model is created to analyze the general properties of the motion rectifier
by making analogy between mechanical systems and electrical circuits. The model is capable of
analyzing electrical and mechanical components at the same time. Both simulation and
experiments are carried out to verify the modeling and the advantages. The prototype achieved
over 60% efficiency at high frequency, much better than the conventional regenerative shock
absorbers in oscillatory motion.
