Broadband energy harvesting with mechanically coupled harvesters

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2017
Abstract This article investigates an array of pendulums as a potential broadband energy harvester. Closed form expression of the total power is analytically obtained. Effect of parameters on the total power harvested and on frequency band of the harvested power is accessed numerically.

Blueberry Harvest Mechanisms

Bozok Tarım ve Doğa Bilimleri Dergisi
Blueberry (Vacciniumcorymbosum L.) is a perennial plant that shed leaves in winter. It is from Ericaceae family and it is in the form of bushes. It grows in temperate climates and its motherland is America. It spread from American culture 110 years ago. It can grow in lightly textured and acidic soil. For this reason, the areas where agriculture can be

Mechanical Harvesting of Apricots

Biosystems Engineering, 2003
An inertia type limb shaker hydraulically, powered and driven by the tractor power take-off, was designed and constructed for the mechanical harvesting of apricots. The study included some properties of apricot fruits, the apparent stiffness with respect to limb diameter, the time needed to shake a limb, optimum frequency and amplitude to obtain ...

Mechanical Harvest of Broilers

Transactions of the ASAE, 1983
ABSTRACT TEST results from the use of a specially designed long tined scoop mounted on a BobcatrM front-end loader for removal of broilers from a growout facility are reported. An overall reduction in wing and breast bruising was found relative to hand catching.

Mechanical raspberry harvesting

2011
Raspberry growers in the lower mainland of British Columbia are contending with increasing production costs and are facing problems in obtaining seasonal labour for fruit picking. Since cost of hand harvesting represents a large proportion of the total production cost, the purpose of this research was to investigate the feasibility of mechanical ...

Mechanical strawberry harvesting

2011
Total strawberry production in both Canada and the United States has been steadily declining for the past decade. This trend can, to a large extent, be attributed to the increasing cost and difficulty of getting this crop manually harvested. This research, therefore, is directed toward development of a mechanical harvesting system for strawberries ...
