Magnetic plucking applies the strategy of frequency up-conversion in inertial energy harvesting when the energy source, such as human motion, only provides excitations with very low and irregular frequencies. This paper presents an analysis of three different magnet configurations to achieve magnetic plucking based on a three-dimensional analytical cube permanent magnet model: direct repulsive configuration, orthogonal configuration and indirect repulsive configuration. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the indirect repulsive configuration generates the largest tip displacement given the pratical constraints in designing a wearable energy harvester. We have implemented this configuration in a wrist-worn rotational energy harvester to pluck multiple piezoelectric beams. Other configurations, however, can potentially be advantageous in applications with alternative constraints.
