Power extraction from ambient vibrations is currently needed or the technology, and the amount of energy in ambient vibration is low and is sufficient to operate small devices. In the present article a methodology is proposed to extract the maximum amount of power from these sources. This paper includes the method to increase the output voltage in a vibration energy harvesting device. The vibration amplitude depends on stiffness, mass damping, vibrating source amplitude and frequency. Various methods are developed to increase the voltage output from these devices. An induced voltage can be further increased by changing the initial relative position between the magnet and coil. Magnetic flux density is found to be maximum in the vicinity of the coil. When the top magnet side matches with the coil centre, then the induced voltage is found to be maximum as compared to other relative positions between the coil and magnet. The multi-magnet arrangement has been used to enhance the total output of the device by keeping appropriate relative position of magnet with respect to the coil. A theoretical and experiment investigation is conducted on these methods, and a theoretical simulation is carried out using a FEA tool, and the experimental results closely match with the theoretical results. Four magnet coils have been considered in this study which gives the maximum output of 1.937 V, 1.426 V, 2.01 V and 2.27 V at 14 Hz frequency. With the help of a multi-magnet arrangement, maximum 7.64 V and 11.44 mW is reached. It observed that the multi-magnet arrangement is the best and gives the maximum voltage output as compared to other methods.
