摘要
Inertial energy scavengers are self-contained devices which generate power from ambient motion, by electrically damping the internal motion of a suspended proof mass. There are significant challenges in converting the power generated from such devices to useable form, particularly in micro-engineered variants. This paper examines this power conversion requirement for each of the cases of electromagnetic, electrostatic and piezo-electric transduction, and presents new circuit approaches for the first two of these.
