摘要
This paper describes a novel micromachined energy harvester, which can harness energy from typing motions on a computer keyboard. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by utilizing piezoelectric and electromagnetic conversion simultaneously for reciprocating z-directional motions of each key. We have fabricated and tested a micro power harvester chip integrated into a computer keyboard. Experimental results show that the maximum harvested power is about 40.8 mu W with a 3 M Omega load from piezoelectric conversion, and 1.15 mu W with a 35 M Omega load from electromagnetic conversion. The micro power harvesters can be extended into the form of an array.
