Self-power system to eliminate accessory charger forever

Technology Overview

An energy harvesting system had been developed to convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy for the purpose of powering electronic devices. The design includes two energy harvesting units that convert mechanical vibrations into AC signals, AC-DC converters configured to convert the generated AC voltage to a DC voltage, and a DC-DC converter configured to receive and store energy from the regulated DC signal.
