Nanogenerator
A nanogenerator is a compact device that converts Mechanical energy, mechanical or thermal energy into electricity, serving to harvest energy for small, Wireless power transfer, wireless autonomous devices. It uses Energy harvesting, ambient energy sources like solar, wind, thermal differentials, and kinetic energy. Nanogenerators can use ambient background energy in the environment, such as temperature gradients from machinery operation, Radiant energy, electromagnetic energy, or even vibrations from motions. Energy harvesting from the environment has a very long history, dating back to early devices such as watermills, windmills and later hydroelectric plants. More recently there has been interest in smaller systems. While there was some work in the 1980s on implantable piezoelectric devices, more devices were developed in the 1990s including ones based upon the piezoelectric effect, electrostatic forces, thermoelectric effect and electromagnetic induction—see Beeby et al for ...
