The workshop “I, Machine, and Energy Harvesting” with Mindaugas Gapševičius and Wolfgang Spahn is part of the exhibition Shared Habitats at MO Museum, Vilnius, Lithuania.
25.-27. May 2019

Supported by Nordic Culture Point.
In cooperation of Institutio Media.

With the piezoelectric effect Vibration Energy Harvesting can be done. Mechanical energy in the form of vibration or shock can be convert into electrical energy in using a piezo module.
I use the Mide PPA 1001 module bought by mouser: https://www.mouser.de/new/Mide-Technology/mide-ppa-piezoelectric-products/

Solar Example

The Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting is done with the Seebeck effect, one phenomenon of the thermoelectric effect. A Peltier module can be used for that.

Symbiotic Synth - a low voltage oscillator that is powered as well as controlled by the human body.

The DC/DC converter LTC 3108 is ideal to output 3-5V.
Or one can use a module for the LTC3108 like that: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Body-heat-energy-harvesting-device/332328658257

Power Outputs:

 1. Vout with selectable voltage and
 2. Vout2 which follows Vout in terms of voltage level

Jumper Setting:

 1+3 Vout = 5V
 1+4 Vout = 4.1V
 2+3 Vout = 3.3V
 2+4 Vout = 2.35V

Pinout:

 S - additional storage element
 V1 - Vout1, up to 5mA of output current
 V2 - Vout2, up to 300mA output current
 L - LDO
 G - Ground\\
