Piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters have demonstrated the potential for sustainable generation from diverse ambient sources in context of low-powered micro-scale systems. However, challenges remain concerning harvesting more power low-frequency input excitations and broadband random excitations. To address this, here we propose a purely mechanical approach by employing inertial amplifiers...

A considerable amount of ambient vibration energy spreads over an ultra-low frequency spectrum. However, conventional resonant-type linear harvesters usually operate within high and narrow bands, which cannot match the frequencies many sources. If excitation deviates a bit from natural harvester, harvesting performance will deteriorate drastically. Because characteristic, it is challenging to r...

In much of the vibration-based energy harvesting literature, devices are modeled, designed, and tested for dissipating energy across a resistive load at a single base excitation frequency. This paper presents several practical scenarios germane to tracking, sensing, and wireless communication on humans and land vehicles. Measured vibrational data from these platforms are used to provide a time-...

With the development of remote monitoring technology and highly integrated circuit technology, achievement usage self-powered wireless low-power electronic components has become a hot research topic nowadays.
