Energy harvesting is a powerful technique to produce clean and renewable energy with better infrastructure improvement. The exhaustive review of recent progress and development in bio-mechanical energy harvesting (BMEH) techniques from human body is discussed in this manuscript. The BMEH from the human body is categorized into three parts, namely, piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEEH), triboelectric energy harvesting (TEEH), and Electro-magnetic Energy harvesting (EMEH). Each energy harvesting system is discussed with working principles with mathematical equations; each energy harvesting progress is discussed with a few work demonstrations. The applications of each energy harvesting from the recent research work are addressed in detail. The summary of each energy harvester from the human body or motion with advantages, limitations, performance metrics, current methods, and implemented human body parts are highlighted with Tabulation. The critical challenges/issues with possible solutions are also discussed.

“…1 Vibration energy harvesting is another idea in energy harvesting; this method scavenges energy from undesired vibrational events in the system and for the installation of vibration energy harvesting apparatuses, the nature and source of the energy harvested need to be understood. Vibration-based energy harvesting method is used in different fields from the human body to home appliances such as exoskeleton movement, 2 helicopters, 3 buildings and bridges, 4 washing machines, 5 etc. The materials that can be used for vibration energy harvesting are piezoelectric materials.…”

Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the modern day have widespread applications in various reconnaissance, agriculture, military, and civilian operations. Their wide domain of application has placed the development of drone technology at the forefront. The energy harvesting in UAVs seems promising since it not only has the ability to lengthen flying time but also guarantees that no appreciable weight is added. The current article explores the concept of placing piezoelectric material patches on the UAV wing in order to extract energy from the vibration of the wing. This study uses a UAV's fixed NACA 2412 wing to harvest vibration energy by finding the location and placing a piezoelectric patch where it will produce the most voltage. The mode shapes generated are used to get the appropriate location to place the piezoelectric patch. The fixed-wing of a UAV with a piezo patch placed is subjected to a harmonically varying pressure load of 213.934 Pa and the behavior of the wing and its frequency response is analyzed in terms of displacement and voltage as output. The maximum voltage produced by the single piezoelectric patch is found about 0.11 V at the first mode shape of the wing. Embedding and increasing the patch at a location of high displacements help to harvest more energy and can be utilized for other purposes.

A Piezo-Electromagnetic Coupling Multi-Directional Vibration Energy Harvester Based on Frequency Up-Conversion Technique

Harvesting vibration energy to power wearable devices has become a hot research topic, while the output power and conversion efficiency of a vibration energy harvester with a single electromechanical conversion mechanism is low and the working frequency band and load range are narrow. In this paper, a new structure of piezoelectric electromagnetic coupling up-conversion multi-directional vibration energy harvester is proposed. Four piezoelectric electromagnetic coupling cantilever beams are installed on the axis of the base along the circumferential direction. Piezoelectric plates are set on the surface of each cantilever beam to harvest energy. The permanent magnet on the beam is placed on the free end of the cantilever beam as a mass block. Four coils for collecting energy are arranged on the base under the permanent magnets on the cantilever beams. A bearing is installed on the central shaft of the base and a rotating mass block is arranged on the outer ring of the bearing. Four permanent magnets are arranged on the rotating mass block and their positions correspond to the permanent magnets on the cantilever beams. The piezoelectric cantilever is induced to vibrate at its natural frequency by the interaction between the magnet on cantilever and the magnets on the rotating mass block. It can collect the nonlinear impact vibration energy of low-frequency motion to meet the energy harvesting of human motion.
