Distributing the Generation of Electricity to Extreme Level

Energy harvesting is the process of converting low level ambient energy into electrical energy usually in the μW to mW range. Energy harvesting enables the distribution of the production of electricity to extremely localized in situ electricity generation. This paper briefly describes our research work and results in the field of energy harvesting. Energy harvesting in general is first shortly discussed and then the design, implementation and testing of our inductive harvester are presented.
