Electrostatic MEMS Vibration Energy Harvesters inside of Tire Treads

An electret electrostatic MEMS vibration energy harvester for tire sensors mounted inside of the tire tread is reported. The device was designed so as to linearly change an electrostatic capacitance between the corrugated electret and output electrode according to the displacement of the proof mass....
