This series of reports from WTiN will provide an in-depth analysis of the energy harvesting effects that enable power to be generated from the human body within wearable applications

Part I: This report focus on harvesting energy from human body motion for wearable applications, detailing the principles of triboelectric, electromagnetic and piezoelectric energy harvesting.  

The upcoming series will include the following: 

Part II: The key focus of this report is on alternative types of energy harvesting via body heat and perspiration. Detailing the principles of the thermoelectric effect using the temperature gradient between the human body and a wearable device. As well as generating energy from human sweat by incorporating biofuel cells into textiles for wearable applications.
