High Energy Density Capacitance Microgenerators

Abstract

The problem of continuous production of energy sufficient for modern microcircuits with an almost unlimited service life should be related to searching for power sources in the ambient medium. The comparison of these sources shows that only solar energy and energy of mechanical vibrations of surfaces of various solids can be used for generation of electrical energy in the milliwatt or microwatt range, which is enough for powering these microcirquits.
