Vibration Energy Harvesting

Goals

This project aims at realising innovative Lead-free electromechanical energy harvesting systems based on metamaterial wave focussing capacity; these will be easily transported, and installed, to power, in a clean and low-cost manner, autonomous wireless sensing devices thereby eliminating batteries and human intervention

Expertise

We bring together six partners with complementary expertise in mechanical metamaterial devices, piezoelectric and functional media, engineering focussed on sensors, data management all with the common goal of creating autonomous clean wireless sensors.
