The spontaneous flapping of a flag can be used to produce electrical energy from a fluid flow when coupled to a generator. In this paper, the energy harvesting performance of a flag covered by a single pair of PVDF piezoelectric electrodes…
Self-sustained oscillations resulting from fluid-solid instabilities, such as the flutter of a flexible flag in axial flow, can be used to harvest energy if one is able to convert the solid energy into electricity. Here, this is achieved…
Electrostatic force microscopy at cryogenic temperatures was used to probe the electrostatic interaction between a conductive atomic force microscopy tip and electronic charges trapped in an InAs quantum dot. Measurement of the…
Capacitors are ubiquitous in electronic and electrical devices. In this article, we study -- both theoretically and experimentally -- the charging and discharging of capacitors using active control of a voltage source. The energy of these…
The heat capacity $C_{p}$ of an array of independent aluminum rings has been measured under an external magnetic field $\vec{H}$ using highly sensitive ac-calorimetry based on a silicon membrane sensor. Each superconducting vortex entrance…
Conventional SSHI (synchronized switch harvesting on inductor) has been believed to be one of the most efficient interface circuits for piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting systems. It employs an inductor and the resulting RLC loop to…
We present a programmable 16 channel, mixed signal, low power readout ASIC, having the project historically named Gigasample Recorder of Analog waveforms from a PHotodetector (GRAPH). It is designed to read large aperture single photon…
The spontaneous flapping of a flag in a steady flow can be used to power an output circuit using piezoelectric elements positioned at its surface. Here, we study numerically the effect of inductive circuits on the dynamics of this…

The ocean contains a substantial amount of energy, and the efficient harvesting of this energy holds significant importance. Drawing inspiration from the biomimicry of octopus tentacles, this study introduces a synergistic mechanism…
The current understanding of charge transfer dynamics in Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) is that charge is moved so quickly from one phase to the next in a clocking sequence and with a density so low that trapping of charge in the inter-phase…
This study is presented in a series of two papers. The first paper is an analytical study. This is the second paper, and here we numerically study the thermal energy harvesting capability of two electronic circuits. The first circuit…
Harvesting energy from ambient vibration is proposed as an alternative to storage based power supplies for autonomous systems. The system presented converts the mechanical energy of a vibration into electrical energy by means of a variable…

Integration of structures and functions allowed reducing electric consumptions of sensors, actuators and electronic devices. Therefore, it is now possible to imagine low-consumption devices able to harvest their energy in their surrounding…
Batteryless energy harvesting systems enable a wide array of new sensing, computation, and communication platforms untethered by power delivery or battery maintenance demands. Energy harvesters charge a buffer capacitor from an unreliable…
Some electrolytic capacitors show dielectric behaviour that can not be entirely explained by the well known long lasting relaxation. Extra charges able to generate a useful conduction current can be detected for an indefinite time. A…
One of the main limitations for the development and deployment of many Green Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems is the access to energy sources. In this aspect batteries are the main option to be used…
