This paper describes the analysis, simulation and testing of a microengineered motion-driven power generator, suitable for application in sensors within or worn on the human body. Micro-generators capable of powering sensors have previously been reported, but these have required high frequency mechanical vibrations to excite a resonant structure. However, body-driven movements are slow and irregular, with large displacements, and hence do not effectively couple energy into such generators. The device presented here uses an alternative, non-resonant operating mode. Analysis of this generator shows its potential for the application considered, and shows the possibility to optimise the design for particular conditions. An experimental prototype based on a variable parallel-plate capacitor operating in constant charge mode is described which confirms the analysis and simulation models. This prototype, when precharged to 30 V, develops an output voltage of 250 V, corresponding to 0.3 μJ per cycle. The experimental test procedure and the instrumentation are also described.

For various monitoring and sensing applications it is desirable to power the electronics by scavenging energy from any locally available source. A prototype generator for low frequency (human body) motion has been developed using a micro-machined (MEMS) implementation of an inertial generator based on a moving-plate capacitor. The prototype generates pulses of 300 V on a 10 pF capacitor. This paper examines the design of a circuit and mosfet device to convert this energy to a low voltage. Because of the very small charge involved, the effect of leakage and parasitic stored charge are important. A silicon-on-insulator design is proposed and is examined through physics based finite-element simulation. The overall effectiveness of the generation process is shown to be composed of several terms which are functions of system parameters such as. generator flight time, device area and circuit inductance. It is shown that device area is a compromise between leakage current, charge storage and on-state voltage. It can, for a given generator and inductance, be optimised to provide the maximum energy yield.
