Scavenging energy from ultra-low frequency mechanical excitations through a bi-directional hybrid energy harvester
TL;DR: In this article, a bi-directional hybrid energy harvester (HEH) is presented to scavenge energy from ultra-low frequency mechanical excitations, which consists of two piezoelectric cantilever beams, a suspended magnet, and a set of coil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models for Microbial Fuel Cells: A critical review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a state-of-the-art of MFCs modeling; the past modeling methods are reviewed as well as the past modelling methods are elaborated on based on the classification provided by Mechanism-based and Application-based models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scavenging energy from human walking through a shoe-mounted piezoelectric harvester
TL;DR: In this article, a shoe-mounted nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) with intent to capture energy from human walking is presented, which consists of a PPEH magnetically coupled to a ferromagnetic ball and a crossbeam.
Journal ArticleDOI
A monostable piezoelectric energy harvester for broadband low-level excitations
TL;DR: In this article, a monostable piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) was proposed for achieving enhanced energy extraction from low-level excitations by introducing symmetric magnetic attraction to the beam and stoppers to confine the maximum deflection of the beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester for various mechanical motions
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester with intent to scavenge energy from diverse mechanical motions is presented, which consists of four PDE cantilever beams, a cylindrical track, and a ferromagnetic ball, with magnets integrated to introduce the magnetic coupling between the ball and the beams.
