ENERGY HARVESTING/TIRE PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND TIRE DATA TRANSMITTER
First Claim
1. A harvester, comprising;
- at least one inertial body;
at least one beam;
a support to said at least one beam; and
a transducer means,whereinsaid at least one beam configures the inertial body into a pendulum structure being suspended from said support so that the beam is allowed to deform according to the kinetic state changes of the inertial body,said at least one beam is configured to interact with at least one transducer means that is/are is configured to produce change in the electrical state of said transducer means responsively to the kinetic state of the inertial body and/or to the deformed state of the beam, andthe harvester coverts energy from mechanical domain to electrical domain.

Abstract
The invention embodies a harvester (12) to convert energy from mechanical domain to electrical domain. The harvester comprises at least one inertial body (6), at least one beam (7, 9), a support (8) to said at least one beam (7, 9) and transducer means (10, 16), wherein said at least one beam (7, 9) configures the inertial body (6) into a pendulum structure being suspended from said support (8) so that the beam (7, 9) is allowed to bend according to the kinetic state changes of the inertial body (6), and is configured to interact with at least one transducer means (10) that is/are configured to produce change in the electrical state of said transducer means (10, 16) responsively to the kinetic state of the beam (7, 9). The invention also shows harvester module, matrix and a harvester system comprising at least one embodied harvester. The invention also shows a tire and a foot wear that comprises at least one harvester embodied.
