Energy harvester in use
Practical test
To demonstrate the performance of our technology, we built a functional prototype of our energy harvester and tested it under realistic conditions.
Test structure
The harvester was attached to the leg like a wristwatch and stimulated by the translational movement of the leg on a treadmill.
Result
After just over 10 minutes, a capacitor with 1 millifarad (mF) could be charged to over
3 volts – a clear proof of the
Efficiency and everyday suitability of our system.
This demonstrator impressively demonstrates how mechanical energy from natural movements can be converted into electrical energy – without the need for an external power source. This opens up a wide range of possible applications in wearables, autonomous IoT devices, and medical applications.
