Autonomous Sensors Powered by Energy Harvesting from von Karman Vortices in Airflow
In this paper an energy harvesting system based on a piezoelectric converter to extract energy from airflow and use it to power battery-less sensors is presented. The converter is embedded as a part of a flexure beam that is put into vibrations by von Karman vortices detached from a bluff body place...
