متن کاملMeasurements of Generated Energy/Electrical Quantities from Locomotion Activities Using Piezoelectric Wearable Sensors for Body Motion Energy Harvesting
In this paper, two different piezoelectric transducers-a ceramic piezoelectric, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and a polymeric piezoelectric, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-were compared in terms of energy that could be harvested during locomotion activities. The transducers were placed into a tight suit in proximity of the main body joints. Initial testing was performed by placing the transduc...
متن کاملIndoor solar energy harvesting for sensor network router nodes
A unique method has been developed to scavenge energy from monocrystaline solar cells to power wireless router nodes used in indoor applications. The system’s energy harvesting module consists of solar cells connected in series-parallel combination to scavenge energy from 34W fluorescent lights. A set of ultracapacitors were used as the energy storage device. Two router nodes were used as a rou...
متن کاملSensors for Energy Harvesting System
A considerable attention has been given to the energy harvesting system, as the energy obtained from this system is used for powering up small electronic devices instead of using batteries. Battery manufactures make batteries of required size with long life of usage. However, it is difficult to replace such batteries once its life is expired. This difficulty can be partially overcome by using t...
