Multi-frequency energy harvesting using thick-film piezoelectric cantilever

Due to the fact that the ambient vibration sources are random and unpredictable, the design of energy harvesters responding to multi-frequency is desirable. In this paper, an array lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick-film cantilevers were designed and fabricated to demonstrate the possibility of har...

description Due to the fact that the ambient vibration sources are random and unpredictable, the design of energy harvesters responding to multi-frequency is desirable. In this paper, an array lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick-film cantilevers were designed and fabricated to demonstrate the possibility of harvesting vibration energy from different frequencies. Two configurations of multi-cantilever were fabricated in a form that elevated from the substrate as free-standing structures. One having six cantilevers of constant width but different lengths and another having five cantilevers of constant length but different widths. The experimental results show a magnitude of voltage at around 70 mV in a range of frequency between 220 Hz to 520 Hz which is in a good agreement with simulation results.
