POWER MEASUREMENTS
Piezoelectric material produces mechanical strain
under the influence of an externally applied electrical
field, and conversely produces electrical potential in

dimensions and tip mass determine the resonant
frequency of the beam, which is tuned to match the
dominant vibrational frequency of its environment,
mechanically amplifying this typically small vibration.
Power Measurements
The power output capability of the Volture? products
was measured in the following manner. In the
cantilevered beam configuration above, the Volture was
mounted to a shaker capable of generating vibrations of
The figure below shows the voltage (operating voltage)
on the capacitor and instantaneous power into capacitor
vs. time for a representative vibration level and
frequency. The V25W product was used, demonstrating
that the power increases until it peaks when the
operating voltage is at about half its open circuit value.
After that, it decreases.

varying frequency and amplitude. Tip masses (four for
each product) were added to alter the natural frequency
of the Volture? products. The vibration frequency being
generated by the shaker was then matched to the
frequency of the Volture? product to provide resonant
and therefore optimized energy harvesting. Four
different amplitudes were tested (0.25, 0.375, 0.5, and
1.00g) at each of these frequencies. The piezo’s output
was rectified and then placed across a purely capacitive
load. The capacitor value was chosen using the
following equation for average power, where C is the
