Abstract
A novel electrostatic unsteady thermal harvester is proposed using nematic liquid crystal as the temperature-sensitive dielectric. With its large anisotropic permittivity and relatively high resistivity, an early prototype is made using fluorinated liquid crystal BCH-5F.F.F. Temperature change of the liquid crystal induces its permittivity change, thereby output voltage is obtained. An effective circuit model is developed and the simulation results are compared with the experimental data for designing harvester with better performance.
