Bimetal-and-electret-based thermal energy harvesters - Application to a battery-free Wireless Sensor Node
S. Boisseau, P. Gasnier, S. Monfray +4
This paper introduces a thermal energy harvester turning thermal gradients into electricity by coupling a bimetallic strip to an electret-based converter: the bimetallic strip beha…
Semi-flexible bimetal-based thermal energy harvesters
S Boisseau, G. Despesse, S. Monfray +2
This paper introduces a new semi-flexible device able to turn thermal gradients into electricity by using a curved bimetal coupled to an electret-based converter. In fact, a two-st…
Analytical model for Stirling cycle machine design
Fabien Formosa, Ghislain Despesse
In order to study further the promising free piston Stirling engine architecture, there is a need of an analytical thermodynamic model which could be used in a dynamical analysis f…
A bimetal and electret-based converter for thermal energy harvesting
S. Boisseau, G. Despesse, S. Monfray +2
This paper presents a new device able to turn thermal gradients into electricity by using a bimetal-based heat engine coupled to an electrostatic converter. A two-steps conversion…
Electrostatic Conversion for Vibration Energy Harvesting
S. Boisseau, G. Despesse, B. Ahmed Seddik
This chapter focuses on vibration energy harvesting using electrostatic converters. It synthesizes the various works carried out on electrostatic devices, from concepts, models and…
Optimization of an electret-based energy harvester
S. Boisseau, G. Despesse, A. Sylvestre
Thanks to miniaturisation, it is today possible to imagine self-powered systems that use vibrations to produce their own electrical energy. Many energy-harvesting systems already e…
