Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a power bank with the capability to harvest electric energy which is then configured to charge its onboard battery such that the power bank is self-recharging. The energy harvesting power bank has an internal area provided with a piezoelectric mass suspended within a suspension frame by resilient members. The internal area is lined with piezoelectric film that is impacted by the piezoelectric mass as a result of the kinetic energy derived from movement of the power bank. As a consequence, the piezoelectric materials will generate electrical energy which will undergo conditioning by energy harvester electronics. The conditioned electrical energy is used to provide power to the USB charging port for use in recharging portable devices.
