Ultra-low frequency energy harvesting using bi-stability and rotary-translational motion in a magnet-tethered oscillator
TL;DR: In this paper, a rotary-translational motion and bi-stability was used to extract energy from human motion and turbine tower oscillations at ultra-low frequency.

TL;DR: The design concept combines a self-tuned oscillator with an eccentric mass on a “tautochrone” path of motion so that its natural frequency matches a selected order of the rotational speed of a powertrain in order to harness the energy of rotational oscillations.
