A bluff body will be placed in front of the piezoelectric cantilever with the integration of electronic circuits in a micro-channel where ambient fluid will get barrier due to the bluff body. An analytical model will be developed to get an optimised geometrical dimensions of the cantilever which will be designed using SolidWorks. An ambient fluid flow energy will be applied to generate vibration of the cantilever. In this study, piezoelectric mechanism will be used to develop a piezoelectric cantilever with a proof mass on its free-end to reduce resonant frequency. Ambient vibration energy can be considered for small-scale application and converted into electrical energy using three mechanisms: Piezoelectric, electrostatic and electromagnetic. But it has limited lifetime, bulky size and harmful during disposal to the environment. Battery is a traditional energy source for portable or wearable devices and remote system application. Low power micro/nano devices are tremendously used in our daily life.
