ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) HARVEST FOR WEARABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339942 titled 'ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) HARVEST FOR WEARABLE DEVICES

The abstract describes a system for harvesting electrostatic discharge (ESD) energy in wearable devices. The system utilizes a mechanical or piezoelectric vibration component to generate static electricity through the interaction between dissimilar materials, such as rubbing skin, hair, or fabric against a wearable device material. The generated static electricity is captured by an ESD harvester and converted into power to recharge an on-board battery.

  • The system utilizes a mechanical or piezoelectric vibration component to generate static electricity.
  • Static electricity is generated by the interaction between dissimilar materials, such as rubbing skin, hair, or fabric against a wearable device material.
  • The generated static electricity is captured by an ESD harvester and converted into power to recharge an on-board battery.
  • Users can also generate static electricity by interacting with other objects or materials, which can be harvested by the ESD harvester.

Potential Applications: - Wearable technology - Energy harvesting devices - Sustainable power sources

Problems Solved: - Providing a renewable energy source for wearable devices - Enhancing the usability and convenience of wearable technology

Benefits: - Extended battery life for wearable devices - Sustainable and eco-friendly power source - Reduced dependency on traditional charging methods

It could also be integrated into clothing and accessories to power embedded sensors or communication devices.

Questions about ESD Energy Harvesting: 1. How does the system generate static electricity from the interaction between dissimilar materials? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using ESD energy harvesting in wearable devices?

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new materials and methods to improve the efficiency of ESD energy harvesting in wearable devices. Stay updated on the latest advancements in this field to maximize the potential of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for harvesting electrostatic discharge (esd) energy in wearable devices is described. the system may include a mechanical or piezoelectric based vibration component to generate static electricity (e.g., triboelectricity) from the interaction between dissimilar materials such as by rubbing skin, hair, or fabric against a wearable device material. the generated static electricity may be captured by an electrostatic discharge (esd) harvester and converted to power that may be used to recharge an on-board battery, at least partially. the static electricity may be alternatively generated by the user interacting with other objects or materials and harvested by the electrostatic discharge (esd) harvester.
