Most work has been conducted on vibration absorbers, such as tuned mass dampers, where significant energy is extracted from a structure. We investigate the concept of recovering some of this energy electrically. We present experimental results from a vibration absorber/harvester. Our results suggest that sufficient energy might be harvested such the device can be self tuning and self powered to optimize vibration suppression.
