Self-powered Dynamic Systems
A Self-powered Dynamic System [1] is defined as a dynamic system powered by its own excessive kinetic energy, renewable energy or a combination of both. Examples of the related technologies are associated with self-powered devices (e.g. sensors), regenerative actuators, and energy harvesting systems. The power produced by human motion can be considered as a potential energy input to mechanical devices. A solar powered airship system can be considered as a self-sustained system. A bio-inspired design and biomimetics can be employed to improve the power density of an energy harvesting system.
