Tree-inspired piezoelectric energy harvesting
We design and test micro-watt energy-harvesters inspired by tree trunks swaying in the wind. A uniform flow vibrates a linear array of four cylinders affixed to piezoelectric energy transducers. Particular attention is paid to measuring the energy generated as a function of cylinder spacing, flow speed, and relative position of the cylinder within the array. Peak power is generated using cylind...

متن کاملIndustrial harvesting of olive tree pruning residue for energy biomass.
In Mediterranean countries, olive tree pruning residue represents an abundant source of energy biomass, still largely unexploited for lack of cost-effective harvesting technology. The authors tested two industrial pruning harvesters, capable of overcoming the limits of lighter units appeared in the past years. One of the machines was designed for application to a powerful farm tractor, whereas ...
متن کاملVolume interpolation of CT images from tree trunks.
Computerized tomography as a non-destructive scanning method to analyze wood structures has become an important technique in tree research. The possibility to reconstruct three-dimensional volumes based on a number of slices of two-dimensional data from CT scans is strongly dependent on the number of measured slices. Radial basis function methods can be successfully used to interpolate CT image...
متن کاملOn energy harvesting from ambient vibration
Future MEMS devices will harvest energy from their environment. One can envisage an autonomous condition monitoring vibration sensor being powered by that same vibration, and transmitting data over a wireless link; inaccessible or hostile environments are obvious areas of application. The base excitation of an elastically mounted magnetic seismic mass moving past a coil, considered previously b...
