Mechanical energy harvesting with ferroelectrets

The new internet standard 5G offers new possibilities to combine and connect different platforms like artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) which will influence almost all aspects of people's lives. The connectivity of all these things will revolutionize the way information will be transferred and distributed. In 2025 the amount of connected devices will approach 75 billion worldwide, a five-time increase in the last ten years [1]. These devices can be handled in wireless sensor networks (WSN), acting in structural health monitoring, autonomous driving, smarter agriculture, etc.
