Electrostatic Thermal Energy Harvester Using Unsteady Temperature Change

Electrostatic Swing Energy Harvester

Generation of the electric power by permanently polarized (electret containing) capacitor is analyzed and investigated in the matter of energy harvesting from oscillations and rotation. Experimentally demonstrated the generation of short high-voltage (up to 1 MV) pulses or low voltage (few volts) alternating current that can be rectified and stored.

Flexible substrate electrostatic energy harvester

Energy harvesting is attractive for powering wireless sensors, especially in applications such as body sensor networks and pervasive sensing, where power source replacement or recharging is impractical. A MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) electrostatic harvesting device suitable for body motion has been reported previously, using a rolling rod as the proof mass. A new rolling rod device i...

Design and Fabrication of 3D Electrostatic Energy Harvester

This paper discusses the design of an electrostatic generator, power supply component of the self-powered microsystem, which is able to provide enough energy to power smart sensor chains or if necessary also other electronic monitoring devices. One of the requirements for this analyzer is the mobility, so designing the power supply expects use of an alternative way of getting electricity to pow...
