Multiaxis Levitating Vibration Energy Harvester
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a device that is capable of converting mechanical or vibration energy into electrical energy to power electronics or incrementally charge batteries. The vibration or motion can come from a machine, building, or just human movement. Unlike similar devices which can only harvest energy from motion in one direction, this device can convert energy from motion in any direction in a 2D plane. This increases the efficiency of energy production and expands the applications of use. This device will extend the life of battery-powered electronics during normal use without connecting to an external power source.
