Coupling of PZT Thin Films with Bimetallic Strip Heat Engines for Thermal Energy Harvesting

A thermal energy harvester based on a double transduction mechanism and which converts thermal energy into electrical energy by means of piezoelectric membranes and bimetals, has previously been developed and widely presented in the literature In such a device, the thermo-mechanical conversion is en...
