3-dimensional fabrication of soft energy harvesters (2013)
Book Chapter
Walters, P., McKay, T. G., Rossiter, J. M., O'Brien, B. M., & Anderson, I. A. (2013). 3-dimensional fabrication of soft energy harvesters. In Y. Bar-Cohen (Ed.), Proceedings of SPIE Volume 8687. USA: SPIE

Dielectric elastomer generators (DEG) provide an opportunity to harvest energy from low frequency sources. Because DEG are soft, deformable, high energy density generators, they can be coupled to complex structures such as the human body to harvest e...
