Harvesting Power From Vibrations

May 4, 2011 | 3 Comments

University of Michigan electrical engineers have built a piezoelectric generator that can harness energy from vibrations and convert it to electricity with five to 10 times greater efficiency and power than other devices in its class. It’s smaller than a penny. The UM team has built a complete system that integrates a high-quality energy-harvesting piezoelectric […]
