摘要
This study is based on energy harvesting from vibration and deals with the comparison of different techniques.In the present scenario,energy harvesting has drawn the attention of researchers due to a rapid increase in the use of wireless and small-scale devices.So,there is a huge thirst among scientists to develop permanent portable power sources.In the surroundings,a lot of unutilized energy is wasted which can be collected and used for power generation.Research works have been extensively carried out to develop energy harvesting devices catering to the increasing needs of being efficient and economical.Effective energy harvesting mainly depends on the design of the transducer.Different types of design techniques,material properties,and availability of energy harvesters are reviewed in this paper.The paper aims to explore the advantages and limitations of different energy harvesting principles,advances,and findings of the recent past.This study also discusses some of the key ideas for the enhancement of power output.This paper provides a broad view of the energy harvesting system to the learners,which will facilitate them to design more efficient energy harvesting devices by using different principles.
