Scientists in the UK developing wearable electronics have knitted a flexible fabric that delivers twice the power output of current energy harvesting textiles.
There
is considerable interest and research into wearable piezoelectric
energy harvesters that use waste energy from human movement or the
ambient environment to power low-energy consuming wearable devices, such
as wireless sensors and consumer electronics.
The fabric is composed of two separate conducting, silver-coated polyamide textile faces joined together by a PVDF spacer yarn. Credit: Navneet Soin et al. |
