Energy harvesting systems using piezo-electric MFCs

Harvesting energy from ÏwasteÓ vibration present in the environment has seen an increasing interest during the past years as part of the general heightened awareness for alternative energy sources. Beside of typical electro mechanical methods, ferro electric devices have proven to be very effective to harvest energy for low power devices as often found in portable electronics, sensor controlled and condition monitoring systems due to the wide usable frequency range and adaptability.
