Variable-capacitance power generation

Click For Summary
Variable-capacitance power generation involves harnessing small amounts of vibrational energy by manipulating a capacitor. This technology aims to scavenge energy from environmental vibrations, potentially powering small devices. Despite interest in the concept, detailed information and research on its practical applications remain scarce. The discussion highlights a need for further exploration and understanding of this innovative energy generation method. Overall, variable-capacitance power generation represents a promising area for energy harvesting research.

A few days ago I read the phrase "variable-capacitance power generation." I tried to find more information, but nothing turned up. Is anyone here familiar with it?

How about here. The basic idea is to scavenge small amounts of vibrational energy by causing it to wiggle a capacitor.
