Harvesting Vibrational Energy Using Material Work Functions
Vibration energy harvesters scavenge energy from mechanical vibrations to energise low power electronic devices. In this work, we report on vibration energy harvesting scheme based on the charging phenomenon occurring naturally between two bodies with different work functions. Such work function energy harvester (WFEH) is similar to electrostatic energy harvester with the fundamental distinctio...
متن کاملVibrational Energy Harvesting Using Mems Piezoelectric Generators
In recent years, energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials has become a very popular research topic. Various device sizes and structures have been tested, but it is difficult to compare power measurements as device fabrication and experimental methods vary from paper to paper. In an effort to standardize comparisons in spite of these changing parameters, the dependence of generator power ...
متن کاملEnhanced Vibrational Energy Harvesting Using Non-linear Stochastic Resonance
Stochastic resonance has seen wide application in the physical sciences as a tool to understand weak signal amplification by noise. However, this apparently counterintuitive phenomenon does not appear to have been exploited as a tool to enhance vibrational energy harvesting. In this note we demonstrate that by adding periodic forcing to a vibrationally excited energy harvesting mechanism, the p...
متن کاملPiezoelectric Generators for Vibrational Energy Harvesting
In past times, energy harvesting used piezoelectric materials was very popular for new research. The devices shapes sizes and dimensions was tested, but was difficult to match power measurement as a device fabrication and other method which vary from paper to paper. In an standard comparison by changing the parameters , the dependence of on device dimension has been investigated. The devices li...
متن کاملEnergy Harvesting Enhancement by Vibrational Resonance
The idea to use the environmental energy to power electronic portable devices is becoming very popular in the last years. In fact, the possibility to do not depend only on the batteries can give to the devices longer operating periods in a fully sustainable way. Vibrational kinetic energy is a reliable and widespread environmental energy, that makes it a suitable energy source to exploit. In th...
