For the first time, we designed and experimentally showed that electromagnetic -EM- energy harvesting can be obtained with a flexible ultra-thin commercially substrate metasurface. The use of cylindrical metasurface EM harvester would be desirable...

In this paper we propose a novel design approach for an ultrathin metasurface energy harvester based on a surrogate model of dipole antenna. A significant advantage of this idea is the reduction of the time of the design process retrieved from a...

among the three slot nano-antennas and previously reported configurations. This work, to

the authors’ knowledge, is the first investigation about the slot nano-antennas for thermal

energy harvesting applications at 30 THz....

Ocean wave energy is one of the huge energy sources, which easily wasted around us. Because of low frequency of the ocean waves, less attention has been paid on vibration-based energy harvesting from this energy source. In this study, a novel beam...

In this study, a nonlinear electromechanical vibration suppressor and energy harvester are investigated. In doing so, by changing support of cantilever beam, which is used as the dynamic vibration absorber, the double stiffness system is introduced...

In great harmony with the green energy, energy harvesting from ambient vibration has been attracted so many researchers towards saving our environment in near future, since last decade. However, linear energy harvesters suffer from narrow operating...
