Abstract :
One of the most important applications of bioelectronics is to improve health and increase the lifespan of people through implantable devices. These types of equipment become more important and find more applications day-by-day. To improve the performance and lifetime of these equipment inside the body, they must have a stable energy supply. Batteries can save energy, but they must be replaced by passing the time, and this causes resurgery and extra costs for the patient. In this regard, many efforts have been made to supply this needed energy from inside the body. In this research, a new method for harvesting energy from the contraction movement of the diaphragm muscle is presented. In this method, a mechanical structure is used that transfers the energy from the diaphragm movement to the piezoelectric layer through a silicon spring. The piezoelectric layer stores the harvested energy in the electrical form.
