Wind energy harvesting is a promising way to offer power supply to low-power electronic devices. Miniature wind-induced vibration energy harvesters, which are currently being focused on by researchers in the field, offer the advantages of small volume and simple structure. In this article, an analytical model was proposed for the kinetic analysis of a flutter-based electromagnetic wind energy harvester. As a result, the critical wind speeds of energy harvesters with different magnet positions were predicted. To experimentally verify the analytical predictions and investigate the output performance of the proposed energy harvester, a small wind tunnel was built. The critical wind speeds measured by the experiment were found to be consistent with the predictions. Therefore, the proposed model can be used to predict the critical wind speed of a wind belt type energy harvester. The experimental results also show that placing the magnets near the middle of the membrane can result in lower critical wind speed and higher output performance. The optimized wind energy harvester was found to generate maximum average power of 705 μW at a wind speed of 10 m/s, offering application prospects for the power supply of low-power electronic devices. This work can serve as a reference for the structural design and theoretical analysis of a flutter-based wind energy harvester.

The paper proposes an alternative scheme of guaranteed electricity and heat supply of an energy-insulated facility with a high potential of wind energy without the use of imported or local fuel. The scheme represents a wind power complex containing the park of wind generators located at the points with high wind potential. The wind generators provide guaranteed power supply even in periods of weak wind. For heat supply of the consumer, all surplus of the electric power goes on thermoelectric heating of water in tanks of accumulators, and also on receiving hydrogen by a method of electrolysis of water. The current heat supply is carried out with the use of hot water storage tanks, and the heat supply during the heat shortage is carried out by burning the stored hydrogen in condensing hydrogen boilers. We have developed the algorithm of calculation and the program "Wind in energy" which allows calculating annual balance of energy and picking up necessary quantity of the equipment for implementation of the scheme proceeding from the annual schedule of thermal and electric loading, and also potential of wind energy in the chosen region. The calculation-substantiation of the scheme proposed in relation to the real energy-insulated object Ust-Kamchatsk (Kamchatka) is carried out. The equipment for the implementation of an alternative energy supply scheme without the use of imported fuel is selected and compared with the traditional energy supply scheme based on a diesel power plant and a boiler house operating on imported fuel. With the introduction of an alternative power supply scheme, the equipment of the traditional scheme that has exhausted its resource can be used for backup power supply. Using climate databases, a number of energy-insulated facilities in the North and East of Russia with high wind energy potential are considered and the conditions for the successful implementation of the energy supply scheme are analyzed. This requires not only a high average annual wind speed, but also a minimum number of days of weak wind. In addition, it is necessary that the profile of the wind speed distribution in the annual section coincides with the profile of the heat load consumption.

With the increasingly serious environment pollution and energy shortage problem of further deepening, how to use more effective and more environmental protection equipment of the new energy conversion and utilization of become social the public and the government attaches great importance to the problem. According to the high speed highway car wake contains huge wind, the wind power generation unit born. The vertical shaft by double S rotor, wind deflector, variable speed clutch institutions, centripetal vertical pendulum and low speed generator composition , realized respectively the wind energy collection, transmission, temporary and transformation. This device for wind power generation field provides a more efficient energy conversion mode. Among them, we creatively applied the ratchet, vertical pendulum mechanism so that the wind energy conversion rate has been increased greatly. At the same time, can also solve the highway electric equipment of the power supply problem. This device design makes the highway lighting lamps and other electric equipment of the power supply problem to obtain the very good solve, reduce power facilities installation cost. The effective use of natural wind, expand the scope of the use of wind energy, alleviate energy nervous, also reduce the pollution of the environment.

To achieve reliable flexibility and acceptable transparency for integrated electronics, the power supply sources of these devices have to meet the requirement of flexibility and transparency. Herein, we developed a facile and non-toxic way to manufacture all-solid-state supercapacitors with high capacitive performance, transparency and flexibility. The as-prepared g-C3N4 nanowires are distributed in Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) solution, transparent film could be formed by vacuum filtration. The g-C3N4 nanowires provide pseudocapacitance and PVA and PEDOT:PSS matrix provides bendable and stretchable ability. The g-C3N4/PVA electrode achieves a specific areal capacitance of 3.51[Formula: see text]mF[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] with transparency of 85%, and that of g-C3N4/PVA/PEDOT:PSS is 5.32[Formula: see text]mF[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] with transparency of 72%. The facile process provides a reasonable architecture for the preparation of a variety of flexible, transparent and wearable electronic devices. The flexible and transparent devices show an instant response to the finger bending with the capacitance change of more than 25%, which provides the possibility for fabricating smart flexible device to monitor human health and motion detection.

This paper describes the design and construction of a remotely controlled mobile interference device designed primarily for interference (jamming) and immunity testing of wireless sensors operating in the 2.4 GHz band (Wi-Fi). The main idea was to build a remotely controlled test device to test the immunity of wireless sensors operating in the 2.4 GHz band directly in field conditions. The remotely controlled mobile interference device is equipped with a special interference apparatus, using a special magnetron tube as a source of interference. Magnetron was selected due to its high performance, allowing interference with wireless sensors over long distances. As magnetron is powered by high voltage (3 kVDC) and is being used in a remotely controlled device, it was important to solve the issue of its power supply using an accumulator. The remotely controlled device was further equipped with the option of detecting and analysing signals in the frequency band of 1 GHz to 18 GHz, adding an extra operational mode that can be used in civil (commercial), industrial, and military applications. Detection and analysis of extraneous signals that may affect our various electronic devices, operating in the 1 GHz to 18 GHz frequency band, is very important. By detecting and analyzing the detected signal, it is possible to recognize what kind of foreign device is transmitting on the detected frequency and how much it can affect the proper functioning of our electronic devices. All the individual parts of the remotely controlled mobile interference device are described in this article in detail, including their optimization for maximum use of the accumulator capacity by which the remotely controlled mobile interference device is powered. A substantial part of this article is devoted to optimizing the interference apparatus power supply with a resonant converter and internal intelligence, where the accumulators’ capacity is measured to gain needed predictions for maximum use of Li-Po batteries and thus extending its time of use.
