چکیده
article as: A. Yu 006 Abstract Vibration is one of the most popular phenomena that exists in our daily life. Detection of mechanical vibration usually uses laser technology. Here, we demonstrated the first application of a piezoelectric nanogenerator (NG) as a self-powered sensor for detecting the vibration status of a cantilever. By attaching a NG at the surface of a cantilever near the fixed end, the resonance frequency and amplitude damping have been quantified using the output voltage of the NG without a power source. This study proves another exciting application of NG in the self-powered vibration detection systems. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that plays dual roles as a sustainable power source by harvesting wind energy and as a self-powered wind vector sensor system for wind speed and direction detection. By utilizing the wind-induced resonance vibration of a fluorinated ethylene-propylene film between two aluminum foils, the integrated TENGs with dimensions of 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm × 22 cm d...
متن کاملA nanogenerator as a self-powered sensor for measuring the vibration spectrum of a drum membrane.
A nanogenerator (NG) is a device that converts vibration energy into electricity. Here, a flexible, small size and lightweight NG is successfully demonstrated as an active sensor for detecting the vibration spectrum of a drum membrane without the use of an external power source. The output current/voltage signal of the NG is a direct measure of the strain of the local vibrating drum membrane th...

An unstable mechanical structure that can self-balance when perturbed is a superior choice for vibration energy harvesting and vibration detection. In this work, a suspended 3D spiral structure is integrated with a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for energy harvesting and sensor applications. The newly designed vertical contact-separation mode TENG has a wide working bandwidth of 30 Hz in lo...
متن کاملA nanogenerator for energy harvesting from a rotating tire and its application as a self-powered pressure/speed sensor.
Harvesting unexploited energy in the living environment to power small electronic devices and systems is attracting increasing massive attention. [ 1–7 ] As the size of the devices has shrunk to the nanoor microscale, the power consumption also decreased to a modest level, i.e., the microwatts to milliwatts range. It is entirely possible to drive such a device by directly scavenging energy from...
