Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit V1.4

This development kit consists of a simple desktop shaker with a suitable power amplifier unit, several MFC generator cantilevers (PEH), and three electronic modules with different harvesting and conditioning circuits.

Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit V1.4

The Evaluation Kit enables scientists with mechanical and electrical engineering backgrounds to study the relations between mechanical input parameters and electrical outputs.

The excitation for the harvester can be applied either by using an internal sine wave generator or, alternatively, a sampled signal from a real environment supplied to the external source input. The MFCs cantilevers are comprised of FR4 glass fiber composite material.
