Soft, low complexity dielectric elastomer generators

The global demand for renewable energy is forecast to grow rapidly over the next 25 years [1]. A class of variable capacitor power generators called Dielectric Elastomer Generators (DEG), show considerable promise for harvesting from previously unviable sources. This is because they can be direct...
