Vibration or kinetic Energy Harvesting Systems captures small ambient vibrations from everyday sources like operating machines, moving vehicles etc and converts them into usable electric power. Piezoelectric and electromagnetic generators are commonly used to scavenge energy from vibrations. This technology is finding uses in powering wireless sensor nodes, wearable devices and more.

By the next decade, energy harvesting systems can potentially replace batteries in many existing applications and enable a future of sustainable, self-powered electronic and IoT devices. Governments and major tech firms are also investing heavily to accelerate this important development towards ubiquitous computing and the realization of "Energy from Ambient Sources".
