A research team led by Professor Wei-Hsin Liao from the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed a lightweight smart materials-based energy harvester for ...
In addition, thermal energy harvesting with thermoelectric devices, situated in specific locations with spatial temperature gradients, has also been proposed19. Nevertheless, thermoelectric energy harvesting from a static gradient is limited by the large thermal conductivities of the constituent materials, ...
a, Energy harvesting processes in nature can be divided into water-enabled energy harvesting and transformation (reversible mechanical movements in response to wet and dry conditions, such as helical coiling and uncoiling of the self-burying seed or closing and opening of a pine cone; and irreversi...
We present the theory of energy harvesting from the human body and describe the amount of energy that can be harvested from body heat and from motions of various parts of the body during walking, such as heel strike; ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow joint motion; and center of mass...
Harvesting energy from the motion of human limbs: the design and analysis of an impact-based piezoelectric generator Vibration energy harvesters can replace batteries and serve as clean and renewable energy sources in low-consumption wireless applications. Harvesters deli... M Renaud,P Fiorini,R Van...
The energy harvesting (EH) from unused natural waste energy sources is common nowadays because of rising power demand. The sources have the potential of producing micro to milliwatts power depending on the ambient conditions. Many researchers have been concentrating on micro-level energy harvesting to...

The human body produces considerable mechanical and thermal energy during daily activities, which could be used to power most wearable electronics. In this context, fiber-based energy conversion devices (FBECD) are proposed as candidates for effective conversion of human-body energy into electricity ...
Among many energy-harvesting alternatives from the human body, enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) hold promise for harnessing energy from sweat fuel sources containing metabolites (such as glucose and lactate)33,34. EBFCs also offer the unique capability to act as self-powered biosensor units, ...
