title = "Vertically-aligned springless energy harvester",
abstract = "This paper analyzes a new configuration of a recently proposed {"}springless{"} vibration energy harvester. In this study, the harvester is positioned so that its oscillations are aligned vertically acting against gravity. The MPG response is investigated experimentally. Test results show that the VEH behaves as a softening nonlinear oscillator even for small excitations. A mathematical model of the underlying impact oscillator is also derived and its parameters are estimated.",
