Design, Modelling, and Fabrication of a Low Frequency Piezoelectromagnetic Energy Harvester
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)The growing demand for electricity has put enormous pressure on the current power grid infrastructure and has caused several major blackouts over the past few decades. As a result, there has been a shift towards a modernized ... -
Micro-electro-thermo-magnetic Actuators for MEMS Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-08)This research focuses on developing new techniques and designs for highly con- trollable microactuating systems with large force-stroke outputs. A fixed-fixed mi- crobeam is the actuating element in the introduced ... -
Modeling, Analysis and Experimental Validation of a Three Degree of Freedom Electromagnetic Energy Harvester
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)Vibration energy harvesting devices have been widely used to power many electronic self-sustainable devices. The aim of this study is to introduce an alternative design to an existing electromagnetic energy harvesting ... -
Multi-purpose Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting System
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-12)This thesis proposes a multi-purpose electromagnetic energy harvesting system that harnesses mechanical energy from diverse types of mechanical motion sources and converts it into low power electrical energy. The harvested ...
