Application of human kinetic energy to the power supply for wearable devices

Abstract

This research project aims to investigate the feasibility of using an integrated electromechanical transducer to convert the kinetic energy of arm movements into electrical energy for charging wearable devices. The project includes a literature review, an analysis of the transducer's construction and functioning, and an exploration of other relevant experiments. The ultimate goal is to design a compact generator that can store sufficient energy for wearable device charging. The results include an overview of the transducer's principles of operation, efficiency, and potential design solutions, as well as a discussion of encountered challenges. This work contributes to the growing field of energy harvesting and offers insights for developing practical solutions for powering wearable electronics.
