Piezoelectric Micro Power Generator for Energy Harvesting

A thin film lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT), power generating device is developed. It is designed to resonate at specific vibrational frequencies from an ambient, vibrational energy source, thereby creating electrical energy via the piezoelectric effect. The energy harvesting device uses the piezoelectric d33 mode and is fabricated with three mask steps. Our cantilever device was desi...

Energy Harvesting From Human Body Using Thermoelectric Generator

A powerful approach to the characterization of cellular electrical activity is electrical recording from cells or living tissues. In this paper, we propose a new approach to feed implantable system, the system designed is an energy harvesting circuit that supplies a power to battery of implantable medical devices through wireless communication module. A thermoelectric generator is employed to h...

Piezoelectric Generator for Powering Remote Sensing Networks

This paper deals with the design, modeling and experimental validation of a piezoelectric “harvest” ambient energy generator based on ambient vibrations to be used in remote and longterm sensing networks. Simulations and experimental studies validate the functionality of individual components in an integrated piezoelectric generator unit.

Energy Harvesting for Self-Powered Nanosystems

Address correspondence to [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, an introduction is presented about the energy harvesting technologies that have potential for powering nanosystems. Our discussion mainly focuses on the approaches other than the well-known solar cell and thermoelectrics. We mainly introduce the piezoelectric nanogenerators developed using aligned ZnO nanowire arrays. This is...
