A Circuit Model for Energy Harvesting from Fringing Electric Fields for Mobile Wearable Device Applications

Harvesting energy from the fringing electric field of power lines is a topic of recent interest. So far, most of the reported energy harvesting processes used a fixed ground connection that makes the harvesting process immobile. This paper presents a new idea to avoid the fixed ground connection and...
