Vibration energy harvesting using a base mounted piezoelectric transducer
Abstract:
An energy harvester apparatus, system and method. A cantilevered beam resonator includes a cantilever beam and a base defined by the ends of the cantilever beam. The cantilevered beam resonator further includes a piezoelectric transducer composed of one or more piezoelectric components. The piezoelectric transducer is generally mounted beneath the base of the cantilevered beam resonator. In some example embodiments, the piezoelectric component can be configured in a split electrode configuration composed of a single split arrangement or more than one split (e.g., two splits, three splits, four splits, and so on).
