Researchers at the University of Michigan say they have developed the first MEMS piezoelectric capable of generating ten times more energy than traditional systems. Specifically, a MEMS size of a U.S. cent would be enough to power an implanted medical device or wireless sensors on a car. The set has a volume of only 27 mm 3, but little harvest of 200 microwatts of energy from a vibration of 1.5 g.
It then loads a capacitor of 1.85 V that accumulate enough energy to power the equipment mentioned above. Scientists estimate that the MEMS could operate for 15 years to 20 years. No one still talking about marketing, but it is an important step towards the use of MEMS as piezoelectric power systems.
