"Portable electronics and communications devices form a crucial part of our technological society, but they require power from batteries that contain toxic chemicals and limit their minimum size or maximum lifetime - as batteries eventually need to be recharged or replaced. The harvesting and utilisation of only a small fraction of energy wasted as heat and vibration from human and environmental processes could potentially power such devices and contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions. This project aims to develop new technologies, devices and measurement methods that enable the exploitation of waste energy to provide small, but reliable and sustainable, power sources. The potential for substituting batteries for these technologies, including microgenerators and nanogenerators, will be assessed by measuring efficiency and effectiveness across a variety of applications, and a measurement framework will be developed to provide the essential, traceable and reliable data required for product development." . .
