Synopsis

Design and Fabrication of Self-Powered Micro-Harvesters: Rotating and Vibrated Micro-Power Systems

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Design and Fabrication of Self-Powered Micro-Harvesters introduces the latest trends of self-powered generators and energy harvester systems, including the design, analysis and fabrication of micro power systems. Presented in four distinct parts, the authors explore the design and fabrication of: vibration-induced electromagnetic micro-generators; rotary electromagnetic micro-generators; flexible piezo-micro-generator with various widths; and PVDF electrospun piezo-energy with interdigital electrode. Analytical solutions are developed for each generator to help the reader understand the fundamentals of physical phenomena.
Fully illustrated throughout, the book is written in an accessible style to provide an essential reference for industry and academic researchers.

• Comprehensive treatment of the newer harvesting devices including
  · vibration-induced and rotary electromagnetic microgenerators
  · polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanoscale/microscale fiber
  · piezo-micro-generators
• Presents innovative technologies including LTCC (low temperature co-fire ceramic) processes, and PCB (printed circuit board) processes
• Uses an interdisciplinary approach crossing MEMS/NEMS technologies, green energy applications, bio-related sensors, actuators and generators

Presented in a readable style describing the fundamentals, applications and explanations of micro-harvesters, with full illustrations

This book is ideal for graduate students in electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as researchers interested in electricity generation and energy harvesting, MEMS processes and design, advanced material analysis, and vibration analysis. The book can also be used by industry professionals working in energy services and utilities.
