Analysis of a hybrid wireless power harvester for low power applications

Abstract

This paper proposes a hybrid approach to harvest power through piezo-electromagnetic transduction. This technique is composed of a piezo and electromagnetic transducer on a common platform. The novel duality of piezoelectricity and piezomagnetism in some dielectric materials are focused here to combine the process. The feasible power from the device is calculated through individual and combined boundaries. It is evident from the investigation that, certainly the combination increases the robustness of the device for low power load applications. However, the individual power output remains the same.Index Terms-Wireless power transfer, hybrid energy harvesting, piezoelectric energy, electromagnetic energy.

Impact of THz Frequency on Underwater Acoustic Wave Propagation for Short Range Wireless Applications

“…However, all of them possess positive and negative remarks [3,4]. Acoustic energy transfer (AET), unlike the aforementioned WPTs, transfers power by propagating energy like sound or vibration waves which can be converted to useful electrical energy [5,6]. In underwater, the generation of electricity mainly depends on the acoustic wave propagations, direction and intensity.…”

Designing cantilever dimension for low power wireless applications

“…Their main applications lied within acoustic signal transmitter and receiver, imaging in atomic force microscopy (AFM) [6]. In recent proposal, cantilever also used for acoustic energy transfer (AET) [7]. For all the cases of applications, the high sensitivity of the device is the key feature [8].…”
