Liquid hydrogen turbopumps are used in large high-performance rockets. Stable high-speed rotation is required for rocket turbopumps. The damping mechanism of the pump must suppress vibration not only in the radial direction but also in the axial direction. However, conventional damping elements using oil or rubber cannot be used due to the cryogenic temperature of liquid hydrogen. Therefore, the application of eddy current dampers to liquid hydrogen turbopumps is focused on in this paper. Although various structures of eddy current dampers have been developed, the multi-degree-of-freedom damping characteristics of dual halbach array type eddy current dampers for liquid hydrogen turbopumps have not yet been investigated. The variation of damping characteristics with temperature has also not yet been verified. In this paper, we propose a novel dual halbach array type eddy current damper for liquid hydrogen turbopumps. The proposed damper can generate high damping force and can be operated maintenance-free at the cryogenic temperature. The analysis results show that the damping characteristics strongly depend on temperature and that the amplitude reduction effect is greater at low temperatures. It was also found that the proposed damper has a higher damping force density than conventional dampers.

We have proposed and experimentally validated a highly miniaturized and hybridized electromagnetic (EM) and triboelectric (TE) energy harvester for scavenging low frequency vibration using dual halbach array. The halbacharray enhances the magnetic flux density and reduces the overall volume as well as facilitates high power generation at low frequencies. In particular, the proposed dual halbach array allows the concentrated magnetic flux lines to interact with the same coil in a way where maximum flux linkage occurs. To obtain high output power in low amplitude and low frequency vibrations, the proposed harvester was comprised of a dual halbach array, TE generator, and magnetic springs. The fabricated hybrid energy harvester delivered an output power of 2.1mW, corresponding to a volume power density of 68W/m(3) under a loading resistance of 112 Omega at 10Hz resonant frequency and 0.5g acceleration.

We present a dual halbach array electromagnetic energy harvester that generates significant power from hand shaking vibration. The magnetic-spring configuration is employed for generating sufficient power from the hand motion of irregular and low-frequency vibrations. However, significant power generation at low-frequency vibrations is challenging because the power flow decreases as the frequency decreases;moreover, designing a spring-mass system that is suitable for low-frequency-vibration energy harvesting is difficult. In this work, our proposed device overcomes both of these challenges by using a dual halbach array and magnetic springs. During the experiment, vibration was applied in a horizontal direction to reduce the gravity effect on the halbach-array structure. To achieve an increased power generation at low-amplitude and low-frequency vibrations, the magnetic structure of the dual halbach array and the magnetic springs were optimized in terms of the operating frequency and the power density. A prototype was fabricated and tested both using a vibration exciter and by manual hand-shaking. The fabricated device showed resonant behavior during the vibration exciter test. For the vibration exciter test, the prototype device offers a maximum average power of 2.92mW to a 62 Omega optimum load, at a 6 Hz resonance frequency and under a 0.5 g acceleration. The prototype device is capable of delivering a maximum average power of 2.27mW from hand shaking. The fabricated device exhibited a normalized power density 0.46 mW cm(-2) g(-2) which is very high compared to the current state-of-the-art devices, representing its ability in powering portable and wearable smart devices from extremely low frequency vibration.
