Magnetostrictive Energy Harvesters (14:50 - 17:25)

14:50 - 15:15 "Energy Harvesters Utilizing Galfenol Technology"
  • Vibrational energy harvesting devices utilizing the new magnetostrictive material Galfenol will be presented. A brief comparison between piezoelectric, magnetoelectric, and Galfenol-based energy harvesters will be made.
  • A review of the Galfenol technology will be presented including the current state of the art of the technology; with a focus on material properties and available form factors. In addition, a brief discussion on the future direction of Galfenol technology will be presented.
  • The principles of operation of these next generation energy harvesters will be discussed.
  • A prototype energy harvester will be displayed demonstrating the capabilities of Galfenol-based energy harvesters.
