In addition to the
transducer and storage
electronics, the
E-821.EHD evaluation
kit contains the
required cabling and
corresponding DuraAct
piezo transducers for
the integration in an
application. The output
voltage of between 1.8
and 5 V can be used to
operate commercially
available electric
circuits and systems
The E-821 energy
harvesting electronics
is designed to work
best with P-876
DuraAct patch
transducers

To dimension an
energy harvesting
system correctly, all
important boundary
conditions must be
known and taken into
account. The principle
itself is simple:
Ambient vibrations
produce a charge
separation in the
piezoceramic DuraAct
transducer. The
electronic circuitry in
the E-821 module then
ensures a sufficiently
stable output voltage
that can be adjusted to
the load
