Harvesting acoustic energy in the environment and converting it into electricity can provide essential ideas for self-powering the widely distributed sensor devices in the age of the Internet of Things. In this study, we propose a low-cost, easily fabricated and high-performance coniform Helmholtz resonator-based Triboelectric Nanogenerator (CHR-TENG) with the purpose of acoustic energy harvesting. Output performances of the CHR-TENG with varied geometrical sizes were systematically investigated under different acoustic energy conditions. Remarkably, the CHR-TENG could achieve a 58.2% higher power density per unit of sound pressure of acoustic energy harvesting compared with the ever-reported best result. In addition, the reported CHR-TENG was demonstrated by charging a 1000 μF capacitor up to 3 V in 165 s, powering a sensor for continuous temperature and humidity monitoring and lighting up as many as five 0.5 W commercial LED bulbs for acoustic energy harvesting. With a collection features of high output performance, lightweight, wide frequency response band and environmental friendliness, the cleverly designed CHR-TENG represents a practicable acoustic energy harvesting approach for powering sensor devices in the age of the Internet of Things.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is developed as a result of Wireless personal area network (WPAN), in which various interconnected Body Node (BN) communicates near and around human body. There are many differences between the WBAN and WPAN i.e distribution, density and mobility. Due to redundant nodes, BN in WBAN are less dense. In WBAN, Body node are implanted inside and on human body to measure physiological signals using different sensors i.e Electro cardio graph (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), Blood pressure, temperature etc) of body which collects data and send it to sink node. Earlier researchers have used either piezoelectric harvester, solar or temperature gradient based. But in this paper optimization technique using combination of Peltier and Piezoelectric human energy harvesting is studied. By developing an algorithm, extensive simulation can be performed considering four human body gestures (relaxing, walking, running and fast running). Overall Quality of Service (QoS) including average (packet loss, end-to-end delay, throughput) and overall detection efficiency is studied.
