Energy harvesting
Energy harvesting is the process by which energy is capture and
stored , also reference to as “energy scavenging” or “energy
extraction” can be defined as converting ambient energies such
wind , vibrations ,light etc.
To usable electrical energy by using energy conversion materials or
subsequent storage of the electrical energy for powering electrical
device.

• The electrical efficiency becomes positive (51%) with a transverse strain
amplitude of 4% at 6 Hz for the electric field of 13 V/μm.
• The harvested current of electrostrictive films increases when the
frequency and the amplitude of mechanical strain were increased.
