Abstract

This work presents two novel principles for thermal energy harvesting based on ferromagnetic and metamagnetic shape memory thin films. Both principles exploit the large change of magnetization in a narrow temperature interval, which allows actuating a beam cantilever in an external temperature and magnetic field gradient to generate kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy. By frequency up-conversion, slow thermal cycles are converted into rapid mechanical oscillations with frequencies up to 200 Hz and amplitudes up to 20% of beam length. First demonstrator devices show power densities in the order of 1 µW/cm3
