Zusammenfassung: | An energy harvesting device (100) comprises a hollow prismatic body (12) formed of a plurality of faces are coated with a piezoelectric layer thereon, a plurality of elongated cantilevers (14) are arranged spatially from each other and inserted through the faces of the hollow prismatic body (12), the elongated cantilevers (14) are coated with a piezoelectric layer thereon, and at least one inner resilient means (16) of a particular stiffness having one end attached the hollow prismatic body (12) and the other end is coupled with a base (18) in order to stabilize the device on its axis. The device (100) is capable of detecting small amounts of environmentally available vibration sources and producing huge vibration to the hollow prismatic body (12) and the cantilevers (14), thereby inducing the device (100) to generate electrical energy that can be stored or used by an exteranl load. |
