Does anyone know if there have there been any published projects in the area of ambient energy harvesting for boats? Anything non-solar and non-wind would be of interest .... piezo film and/or wire, micro wave gens, electret mics, peltiers, and so on.
I know the power scavenged would in the mW but I'm planning on building a few harvesting devices as a series of experiments, part curiosity and part practical work.
The direction this is heading in right now is to use cantilevered piezos and micro wave motion generators installed in the now empty engine bay. The goal is to getcontinuous harvesting of 2W-3W usable power i.e. enough to run a small string of low voltage LEDs.
