Self-Powered Self-Contained Wireless Vibration Synchronous Sensor for Fault Detection.

ABSTRACT: Failure in dynamic structures poses a pressing need for fault detection systems. Interconnected sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks (WSN) offer a solution by communicating information about their surroundings. Nonetheless, these battery-powered sensors have an immense labor cost and require periodical battery maintenance and replacement. Batteries pose a significant environmental threat that is expected to cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem. We introduce a fully integrated vibration-powered energy harvester sensor system that is interfaced with a custom-developed fault detection app. Vibrations are used to power a radio frequency (RF) transmitter that is integrated with the vibration sensor subunit. The harvester-sensor unit is comprised of dual moving magnets that are bordere
