Kinetic energy harvesting technologies in the land transportation provide promising ways to generate clean and regenerative energy for different applications. According to different energy resources and application focuses, various energy harvesting technologies are presented.
This is because electromagnetic systems use mechanisms to amplify the motion of the input, while hydraulic systems can store high pressure fluid. For track-side kinetic energy harvesting systems and vehicle-side kinetic energy harvesting systems, the experimental frequency is generally 0–10 Hz, and the amplitude is generally 0–20 mm.
This article reviews the electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and triboelectric energy harvesting technologies from human motions, including joint rotation, limb swing, force application, fold stretching, and organ motion. It also discusses and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various recently proposed human energy harvesters.
In addition, possible applications of active sensing and wearable powered electronic devices driven by human body kinetic energy harvesting are provided. Finally, the concept of a human energy and information exchange center based on energy harvesting is proposed as a future prospect.
Although divided into different categories, the common kinetic energy harvesting systems usually are composed of four parts: (1) energy input module, (2) transmission mechanism module, (3) electricity generation module, and (4) power storage units. The rest of this review is constructed as follows.
