Abstract
The present invention discloses, inter alia, a micro-electromechanical device (DEVICE) for sensing and for harvesting electrical energy responsive to being subjected to mechanical forces that includes at least one first electrode fixedly mounted on a first support, wherein the at least one first electrode is chargeable with electrons, and at least one second electrode inertia-mounted on a second support such that the first and second supports are electrically isolated from each other.
Claims9
A device for converting mechanical energy to electrical energy, comprising:
- a mechanical device comprising a seismic mass flexibly connected to a base by at least one spring,
- a mechanoelectric transducer associated with said mechanical device for converting the mechanical energy to the electric energy, said mechanoelectric transducer is deigned to adjust its mechanoelectrical property to a desired level,
- an electric circuit that is connected to the mechanoelectric transducer, such that when the seismic mass moves relative to the base an electric current is generated in the electric circuit.
