“…The output of the tuned LC circuit indicates the rectifier of the proposed system. A 3-stage germanium diode-based (1N34A) Cockcroft-Walton rectifier [40] with 100 nF blocking capacitors was used for DC conversion, as shown in Figure 9b. In the prototype, the ability to monitor the output voltage of each rectifier stage is also provided to obtain additional experimental measurements and select the most efficient number of stages at test points 1 to 3, respectively.…”

This article presents the basic principles for an Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) IoT-based isotropic meter implementation, which can measure magnetic flux density from 100 nT up to 10 μT. The identical sensor probes are used for isotropic field measurements in the X, Y, and Z planes. The prototype has a flat response across the frequency range from 40 Hz to 10 kHz, detecting and measuring several magnetic field sources. The proposed low-cost meter can measure fields from the power supply network and its harmonic frequencies in the operating frequency band. The proposed magnetic flux density meter circuit is simple to implement and the measured field can be displayed on any mobile device with Wi-Fi connectivity. An Arduino board with the embedded Wi-Fi Nina module is responsible for data transferring from the sensor to the cloud as a complete IoT solution, supported by the Blynk application via Android and iOS operating systems or web interface. In addition, an ELF energy harvesting (EH) circuit was also proposed in our study for the utilization of the alternating magnetic fields (50 Hz) derived from the operation of several consumer devices such as transformers, power supplies, hair dryers, etc. using low-consumption applications. Experimental measurements showed that the (DC) harvesting voltage can reach up to 4.2 volts from the magnetic field of 33 μΤ, caused by the operation of an electric hair dryer and can fully charge the 100 μF storage capacitor (Cs) of the proposed EH system in about 3 min.

“…In this case, a DC voltage of about 1 V is obtained at a frequency of 900 MHz. Even those values are small for energy harvesting systems, they can be increased by using other diode configurations, such as a voltage doubler or a Cockcroft multiplier [50,51]. The results of the simulation are shown in Figure 4.…”

In this work, we demonstrate P3HT (poly 3-hexylthiophene) organic rectifier diode both in rigid and flexible substrate with a rectification ratio up to 106. This performance has been achieved through tuning the work function of gold with a self-assembled monolayer of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzenethiol (PFBT). The diode fabricated on flexible paper substrate shows a very good electrical stability under bending tests and the frequency response is estimated at more than 20 MHz which is sufficient for radio frequency identification (RFID) applications. It is also shown that the low operating voltage of this diode can be a real advantage for use in a rectenna for energy harvesting systems. Simulations of the diode structure show that it can be used at GSM and Wi-Fi frequencies if the diode capacitance is reduced to a few pF and its series resistance to a few hundred ohms. Under these conditions, the DC voltages generated by the rectenna can reach a value up to 1 V.

This document describes a proprietary design, construction, programming and testing of a low-cost pulsed high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power supply with an output of 430 V and power of 25 W. The design obtained allows costs to be reduced compared to commercial ones, highlighting that the manufacturing of this HVDC is easy to replicate. To demonstrate the operation of the pulsed power supply prototype, coatings of silicon carbide (SiC) and SiC mixed with graphite (C) and/or alumina (Al2O3) were made using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. After processing, samples underwent a heat treatment at 500 °C to evaluate their thermoelectric (TE) efficiency. The samples were analysed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity were measured in a temperature range of 100–500 °C in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere. The electrical conductivity of the SiC 6C-4Al sample was 0.65 S/cm at 500 °C, while the maximum Seebeck coefficient was 2500 μV/K of the SiC 6C-4Al sample at 200 °C. The thermal conductivity of SiC 6C-4Al was in the range of 0.35–0.37 W/m·K, which was much lower than the SiC sample free of alumina and graphite in the same measured temperature range. In conclusion, the SiC 6C-4Al sample presented the highest figure of merit with a ZT ≈ 0.01.
