Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic energy harvesting using an electromechanical Helmholtz resonator.
Fei Liu,Alex Phipps,Stephen Horowitz,Khai D. T. Ngo,Louis N. Cattafesta,Toshikazu Nishida,Mark Sheplak +6 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the development of an acoustic energy harvester using an electromechanical Helmholtz resonator (EMHR), which consists of an orifice, cavity, and a piezoelectric diaphragm that is sufficient to power a variety of low power electronic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of a wireless, self-powered, electroacoustic liner system.
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the system operation of a self-powered active liner for the suppression of aircraft engine noise using an electromechanical Helmholtz resonator, which is used for acoustic impedance tuning and energy harvesting.
Journal ArticleDOI

J. Jun,B. Chou,Jenshan Lin,Alex Phipps,X. Shengwen,Khai D. T. Ngo,D. Johnson,Anurag Kasyap,Toshikazu Nishida,Hung-Ta Wang,B. S. Kang,Fan Ren,Li-Chia Tien,P.W. Sadik,David P. Norton,Lars F. Voss,Steve Pearton +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-powered wireless hydrogen sensor node has been designed and developed from a system level approach using multi-source energy harvesting circuitry such as scavenged or reclaimed energy from light emitting and vibrational sources as the source of power for commercial low power microcontrollers, amplifiers, and RF transmitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
System Modeling of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters
Alex Phipps,Toshikazu Nishida +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled, system-level model is developed that includes parasitic losses in the power converter for a system comprised of a cantilevered transducer beam and pulsed resonant converter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Power Converters for Piezoelectric Energy Extraction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of switched-mode power converters for vibration-energy harvesting, focusing on power-extraction efficiency (PEE), and give the optimal battery voltage and resistance for maximal power extraction.
