Piezoelectric-Based Vibration Energy Harvester

Jeutten M., Iowa State University Research Foundation, US

A potential means of extending battery life is the use of miniature renewable self-contained power supply units, which can convert ambient vibrations from existing sources in their environment into electrical form, and use this harvested [...]

Design and Analysis of Vibration Based Energy Harvester for Precision Agriculture

Aris H., Fitrio D., Singh J., La Trobe University, AU

The world population has increased by more than double in the past three decades and as a result the food supply required per capita has tremendously increases. However, as reported by United Nation Food and [...]

Finite Element Modeling and Simulation of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters Fabricated in CMOS Technology

Mok A., Tigli O., University of Miami, US

Here we present a micron scale piezoelectric energy harvester fabricated in a commercial Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It is a trilayer cantilever model clamped on one end. The dimensions of this cantilever are [...]
