Vibration Energy Harvesting from Raindrops Impacts: Experimental Tests and Interpretative Models

The kinetic energy of raindrops is a large and renewable source of energy that nowadays can be exploited by means of piezoelectric harvesters. This study focuses on a new cantilever harvester that uses the impact of a drop on a liquid surface created on the harvester in order to improve the conversi...
