Development of an energy harvesting device with a contactless plucking mechanism driven by a skeletal muscle

We propose an energy harvesting device driven by the contraction of an electrically-stimulated skeletal muscle that can be used as an alternative to batteries for implantable medical devices. In order to realize a durable generator, this device has a contactless plucking mechanism comprising paralle...
