INTRODUCTION
On-board sensors have gained in precision, reliability and robustness while becoming smaller, but they are still limited by the lifespan of their power supply system. A promising alternative is to recover ambient mechanical energy to ensure the energy autonomy of nomadic devices. This approach has great potential in terms of innovation, miniaturization and respect for ecological issues, and is in line with the theme of renewable energies.
