Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for harvesting energy by transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy. Particularly, the energy can be harvested by converting mechanical energy produced during operations or movements of a body (e.g., a vehicle, a person, a machine, etc.) that generate alternating or periodic force, which can be received by the energy harvesting device.
