Variable-capacitance power generation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Variable-capacitance power generation involves harnessing vibrational energy by manipulating a capacitor's capacitance. This technology allows for the scavenging of small amounts of energy from environmental vibrations, making it suitable for low-power applications. The concept focuses on the mechanical movement of a capacitor to generate electrical energy, which can be utilized in various electronic devices.

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.
