Journal ArticleDOI
Pyroelectric-Based Solar and Wind Energy Harvesting System
TL;DR: In this article, a practical solution for generating thermal oscillations required for sustainable pyroelectric-based energy harvesting from the solar and wind energies, is presented, where the main focus of the work is to modulate the concentrated solar radiation using a vertical axis wind turbine for producing higher rate of change of temperature on the Pyroelectric material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectric based resonant mass sensor using phase measurement
TL;DR: In this article, a resonant sensor is built using cantilever structure with piezoelectric excitation, sensing and microcontroller based closed loop electronics to measure the unknown mass by measuring the shift in resonance frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design enhancement of a chevron electrothermally actuated microgripper for improved gripping performance
TL;DR: In this paper, two in-plane chevron electrothermal actuators are used to convert a free-free gripper into a clamped-free gripping arm and include heat sinks in the shuttle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resonance based DC current sensor
TL;DR: In this article, a resonant proximity DC current sensor is proposed to measure current in the range of 0.20 to 1.1% of full scale deflection by measuring the shift in resonance frequency of the cantilever beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester with multiple cavities
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized model for a piezoelectric energy harvester with multiple rectangular cavities at a single section and two sections is developed to optimize the thickness of the cavities and the number of cavities required to generate a higher output voltage for a given cantilever beam structure.
