Abstract

In the Department of Micro and Nano Electrotechnologies (DMNE) was approached by the “energy harvesting (harvesting)” which included a piezoelectric microgenerators (type harvesting) and representing the collection or recovery of energy from the environment and conversion of mechanical energy, acoustic, chemical to electrical energy. Piezolectric microgenerators (type harvesting) is used to power wireless microsensors used for monitoring resistance systems in buildings, or physiological and environmental parameters..
