Simulation of Nuclear Radiation based Energy Harvesting Device using Piezoelectric Transducer
Published in 2011
MEMS(Microelectromechanical systems) based energy harvesting is process of extracting energy from natural resources in small amounts. Here, number of (millions) small energy harvesting modules lead to substancial energy.
In this design, a piezoelectric material is used to scavenge energy from natural resources like radioactive source. COMSOL Multiphysics is used to model and simulate a microcantilever with a layer of piezomaterial.
