Portable devices are gaining popularity and as electronics keep having a tendency to decrease their size, wearable smart devices can be created for wide field of applications such as communication, physical activity logging, health monitoring etc. Currently batteries is the main choice for power source, but regular charging or replacing is inconvenient and puts additional stress onto the environment. A long-living or fully autonomous solution would be using energy harvesters, which convert otherwise lost different types of energy into electrical. Talking about wearable electronics, the closest energy sources are thermal and motion energy of the wearer. This project studies options to create combined energy harvesting system for human motion and thermal energy.
