The invention provides an energy generator comprising energy generator comprising an energy harvesting material which generates energy when moved from a pre-selected first position to a second position wherein the energy generator comprises one or more deflection aids which comprise a moveable clamp wherein each deflection aid biases the energy harvesting material to the first position and wherein the first position of the energy harvesting material is pre-selected using the moveable clamp; an energy harvesting layer comprising one or more of the energy generators according to the invention; an energy harvesting flooring material comprising a layer of synthetic material and the energy harvesting layer according to the invention; and an energy harvesting system comprising (a) the energy generator according to the invention, the flooring material according to the invention and/or the energy harvesting layer according to the invention; (b) a power management system and (c) an electrical storage device.
An energy generator comprising an energy harvesting material which generates energy when moved from a pre-selected first position to a second position wherein the energy generator comprises one or more deflection aids which comprise a moveable clamp wherein each deflection aid biases the energy harvesting material to the first position and wherein the first position is pre-selected using the moveable clamp.
An energy harvesting floor covering comprising a layer of synthetic material and an energy harvesting layer which comprises one or more energy generators comprising an energy harvesting material which generates energy when moved from a pre-selected first position to a second position wherein the energy generator comprises a moveable clamp and one or more deflection aids wherein each deflection aid biases the energy harvesting material to the first position and wherein the first position is pre-selected using the moveable clamp.
An energy harvesting system comprising a power management circuit, an electrical storage device and at least one energy generator comprising an energy harvesting material which generates energy when moved from a pre-selected first position to a second position wherein the energy generator comprises a moveable clamp and one or more deflection aids wherein each deflection aid biases the energy harvesting material to the first position and wherein the first position is pre-selected using the moveable clamp.
