Abstract
An electrostatic harvester device for charging an energy storage device is provided. The electrostatic harvester device comprises an inductor, a variable capacitor device, a semiconductor device, and a plurality of transistors. The inductor is operable to receive electric charge and store the electric charge. The variable capacitor device is configured to receive electric charge from the inductor and to change capacitance in response to physical stimulation. The semiconductor device is operable to allow electric current to flow from the variable capacitor device. The transistors are operable to connect at least two of the aforementioned devices. At least one of the transistors comprises at least one of gallium nitride or aluminum gallium nitride.
