Abstract |
|
The field of science and technology is focused and concentrating on a single word ‘Energy’. All our advanced devices seems to be dealing with converting one type of energy into another one and providing the desired form of work. Energy is available everywhere in our surrounding in various forms (wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, vibrational energy etc). Main aim is to focus on extracting the energy from such sources which are available everywhere and never ending. Energy harvesting or energy scavenging from mechanical (vibrational) energy is a significant step in this direction. There are basically three vibrational energy harvesting techniques: piezoelectric, electrostatic and electromagnetic harvesters. This paper puts light on basics of piezoelectric energy harvesting which is one of the most efficient method of micro-mechanical energy harvesting. |
