Abstract

The present invention relates to an energy harvester, including: a base; an electromagnetic coil fixed in the base; a disk-shaped stator magnet fixed at the center of the base; a friction plate fixing ring fixed on the base; at least one friction plate unit fixed on an inner side surface of the friction plate fixing ring; a disk-shaped rotor magnet whose bottom is in contact with the electromagnetic coil, wherein the disk-shaped rotor magnet is attracted and held to the disk-shaped stator magnet, and an outer surface of the disk-shaped rotor magnet is tangent to an outer surface of the disk-shaped stator magnet; and an annular friction plate fixed on the disk-shaped rotor magnet, wherein the annular friction plate and a friction plate are made of materials with different polarities. The foregoing energy harvester has a simple structure and high electrical energy output efficiency.
