This invention is related with electrical energy conversion device, which uses built-in potential of metal-to-metal junctions from repeating movements with random frequencies, speeds and amplitudes at the medium of the device. The device using the method does not rely on a resonant frequency, besides, it can convert the kinetic energy to electrical energy even at low frequencies. Furthermore, its application to the real life situations is economic and beneficial because of the efficient working principle and simple structure. Unique design of the device enables direct wiring of the outputs of identical or similar devices together for the purpose of power scaling without the need of using another device, which may cause energy losses and increase the total cost. This device also does not require a dummy voltage source or a precharge at the beginning of energy harvesting

A Self-Powered and Efficient Rectifier for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2014-11-05)
This paper presents an interface circuit for efficient rectification of voltages from electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters operating with very low vibration frequencies. The interface utilizes a dual-rail AC/DC doubler which benefits from the full cycle of the input AC voltage, and minimizes the forward bias voltage drop with an active diode structure. The active diodes are powered through an AC/DC quadrupler with diode connected (passive) transistors. The interface system has been validated to drive 22 m...
A micro power generator with planar coils on parylene cantilevers
Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Külah, Haluk (2008-06-25)
In this paper an electromagnetic vibration based micro power generator is presented. The proposed generator is composed of parylene cantilevers on which planar coils are fabricated. The system uses external vibrations to generate power by virtue of the relative motion between the cantilevers and a magnet. The parameters of the micro generator have been optimized for maximum output and it has been fabricated in micro scale. Initials tests show that 8.75 mV could be obtained from the proposed generator at a v...
Method for suppresion of G-sensitivity of MEMS gyroscope
Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (EPO, 2017)
The invention relates to provide a method for suppression of the g-sensitivity of MEMS gyroscope (1) by keeping the movable sense frame of the gyroscope stationary irrespective to the external accelerations with the aid of closed-loop feedback circuit (2)
An electromagnetic energy harvesting system for low frequency applications with a passive interface ASIC in standard CMOS
Rahimi, Arian; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2012-12-01)
This paper presents a compact energy harvesting system, which consists of an electromagnetic (EM) generator converting ambient low frequency vibrations to DC voltage by using a highly efficient full-wave rectifier in a System-on-Package (Sop). Frequency Up-Conversion technique has been utilized by the in-house EM transducer to harvest energy from very low frequency vibrations (<5 Hz). The interface ASIC is a passive rectifier based on the boot-strap rectification (BSR) technique to decrease the effective th...
An efficient integrated interface electronics for electromagnetic energy harvesting from low voltage sources
Ulusan, Hasan; Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2013-12-01)
This paper presents a fully-integrated self-powered interface circuit for efficient rectification of the signals generated by vibration based low-voltage electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters. The circuit utilizes an improved AC/DC doubler structure with active diodes to minimize the forward bias voltage drop for enhancing the rectifier efficiency. The comparators in the active diodes are powered internally by another passive AC/DC doubler with diode connected transistors. The performance is maximized thro...
