Much of the abundant mechanical energy around us is irregular and oscillatory and can be somewhat difficult to efficiently tap into. Typical energy harvesting systems tend to be built for low power ...

A diode allows current to travel in only one direction. With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system. But ...

THIS is a useful little book and will be helpful to electrical engineers, physicists, and radio amateurs. The electrical engineer will appreciate the theory and the method described of using a ...

Extensive research has been done in the past fifteen years on the energy harvesting, which enables many promising applications like self-powered wireless sensors. The energy harvesting is also being ...
