Energy harvesting

The days when piezoelectric energy harvesting was considered unreliable and had low power output are long gone. Hand in hand with the development of ultra low power electronics, energy harvesters have been drastically improving also.

Energy harvesting requires a distinction between maximum power and maximum efficiency. Improved conversion efficiency increases power for the same inp

A team of scientists at the Cornell University have developed an energy harvesting "piezo-tree" that uses the flittering of leaves connected to a piezoelectric stem to generate electric energy.

A small collection of objects that analyses the possibility of collecting energy from everyday actions using developed alternative technologies applied in simple, uncommon, rhetorical ways. This...

Pavegen's energy-harvesting pavement technology is part of Bird Street, the world's first smart street in London's West End.

The Internet of Things is making the world a hyperconnected place. This connectivity revolution is shaping pretty much every aspect of our lives - from entertainment to healthcare and everything in between. However, finding solutions to power this ever-growing number of IoT edge devices has not been a walk in the park. In the search for newer and more innovative energy solutions, we were bound to hit upon this inevitable question - why not harness energy from the human body?

A new concept in energy harvesting could capture energy that is currently mostly wasted due to its characteristic low frequency and use it to power next-generation electronic devices. In a project funded by electronics giant Samsung, a team of Penn State materials scientists and electrical engineers has designed a mechanical energy transducer based on flexible organic ionic diodes that points toward a new direction in scalable energy harvesting of unused mechanical energy in the environment…
