Review of vibration-based energy harvesting technology: Mechanism and architectural approach

Energy harvesting technologies are growing rapidly in recent years because of limitation by energy storage and wired power supply. Vibration energy is abundant in the atmosphere and has the potential to be harvested by different mechanisms, mainly through piezoelectric and electromagnetic means. Var...

Description
Summary:Energy harvesting technologies are growing rapidly in recent years because of limitation by energy storage and wired power supply. Vibration energy is abundant in the atmosphere and has the potential to be harvested by different mechanisms, mainly through piezoelectric and electromagnetic means. Various architectural structures were also designed for several operating conditions, namely, resonance frequency and range thereof, acceleration, and energy extraction from several motions. The advantages and disadvantages were elaborated on, and improvements on ideas from current research were discussed in this review.
