Abstract
Origami has inspired several fields of engineering, motivating the creation of novel adaptive and morphing structures. Recently, the folding along the crease pattern of origami-inspired mechanisms has been harnessed in energy harvesting. This paper describes the vibration of an origami waterbomb base as a potential energy harvester. Bistability inherent in the waterbomb base is utilized to increase the bandwidth of its frequency response. A dynamic model is proposed and performance of the waterbomb base is investigated under external excitations.
