An oscillating float-type piezoelectric-triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid wave energy harvester used in fish-attracting lamp

Abstract In this work, an oscillating float-type piezoelectric-triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid wave energy harvester (PTE-HEH) used in fish-attracting lamp is proposed. It integrates three power generation methods and makes reasonable use of space, and the three power generation methods can complement each other. The theoretical analysis, simulation analysis, and experimental test of PTE-HEH are carried out. The variation trend and optimal parameters of each unit are found in the theoretical analysis and simulation. In the experiment, when the cantilever beam clamping length is 10 mm, the triboelectric mode of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) film and copper foil independent triboelectric layer is adopted, and the number of magnets is 3, the output performance of PTE-HEH reaches the optimal state. When the external load resistance is 0.4 MΩ, the maximum output voltage is 69.52 V, and the maximum output power can reach 15.80 mW. It is greater than the sum of the output power of the three generators when they work alone. The power density can reach 25.99 W m −3 . PTE-HEH can light 97 LEDs and power the temperature and humidity sensor. The PTE-HEH also makes the normal operation of fish-attracting lamp. The combination of PTE-HEH and fish-attracting lamp provides a new scheme for the subsequent development of self-powered fishing devices at sea.
