Abstract

This paper describes some study on the utilization of body energy with hybrid piezoelectric and thermoelectric effect, generated from normal human interactions. Electrical energy is generated by the use of piezoelectric, thermoelectric and vibration energy converters. The energy extracted is stored in a rechargeable lithium ion battery via a charger which is able to capture or transfer the energy to battery. Lead titanium zirconate is used as piezoelectric material as it has high curie point and coercive voltage.
