A self-powered wireless motion sensor based on a high-surface area reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric energy harvester (open access)

A self-powered wireless motion sensor based on a high-surface area reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric energy harvester

Article presents a motion-sensing device with the capability of harvesting energy from low-frequency motion activities. Based on the high surface area reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric (REWOD) energy harvesting technique, mechanical modulation of the liquid generates an AC signal, which is modeled analytically and implemented in Matlab and COMSOL.
