Energy Estimation for Electret Harvester with Nonlinear Spring

A design of an electret-type vibration energy harvester using non-linear springs is described. The use of bi-stable springs enabling a snap-through behavior is a well-known technique known for improving the low-frequency performances of energy harvesters. The electrical power from our bi-stable ener...
