Effectiveness of Energy Transfer versus Mixing Entropy in Coupled Mechanical–Electrical Oscillators
Electrostatic energy harvesters convert kinetic energy into electrical energy via variable capacitors. Efforts to improve their power output are hampered by a lack of understanding of the fundamental limit for energy conversion efficiency. In heat engines, the theoretical limit of conversion efficie...
