Abstract :
This paper reports a piezoelectric energy harvester with a fabric textile structure and the management module to store the output charge from the harvester. We present experimental demonstration of proposed device using multi-thread structures with various thread numbers. Generated output power from the device is stored in the form of a DC voltage using the management module.
