KINETIC ENERGY HARVESTING USING PIEZO ELETRIC MATERIALS
Journal Title: VADYBA - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
Kinetic energy harvesting transducers is the most promising low power energy sources. Such technologies gives opportunity ensure lifetime power supply for low power systems i.e. networks of wireless sensors, wearable electronics and electronics for monitoring of physiological parameters. The most attractive kinetic energy harvesting technology is piezoelectric energy harvesting. Piezoelectric transducers are cheap, have simple construction and low operation costs in comparison with other kinetic energy harvesting technologies. This paper represents experimental investigation of bimorph with brass beam. Experimental investigations of the beam were performed in order to obtain electrical and electromechanical characteristics i.e. voltage versus resistance load, current versus resistance load characteristics. Moreover characteristics of beam angle inclination versus voltage were investigated. Analysis of the obtained data showed that proposed prototype could be mployed as power supply of low power electronics.
