Metamaterial Enhanced Vibration Energy Harvesting (METAVEH)
Description
This project aims at realising innovative Lead-free electromechanical energy harvesting systems based on metamaterial wave focussing capacity; these will be easily transported, and installed, to power, in a clean and low-cost manner, autonomous wireless sensing devices thereby eliminating batteries and human intervention
