Resonant energy harvester and an aircraft comprising the resonant energy harvester

摘要

An energy harvester (18), in particular for an aircraft (10), comprises a first portion (20), a movable element (21), and a kinetic-to-electric-energy-converter (23). The first portion (20) includes a charge collecting device (26) having an electrical permittivity different to the one of air. The charge collecting device (26) is configured to be exposed to an air flow. The movable element (21) is configured to be driven by the charge of the charge collecting device (26), and the kinetic-to-electric-energy-converter (23) is configured to generate energy by the movement of the movable element (21).
