ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Tiny generators
developed at the University of
Michigan could produce enough
electricity from random, ambient
vibrations to power a
wristwatch, pacemaker or
wireless sensor.
The energy-harvesting devices, created at U-M's Engineering Research Center for Wireless Integrated Microsystems, are highly efficient at providing renewable electrical power from arbitrary, non-periodic vibrations. This type of vibration is a byproduct of traffic driving on bridges... READ MORE (HTML)
