About
Tomoya Miyoshi is a researcher at the forefront of energy harvesting technology, specializing in the development of low-profile, rotational electret energy harvesters designed to power wearable devices using human motion. His work centers on modeling and optimizing energy capture from natural movements, particularly human arm swing during walking. Miyoshi’s major contributions include proposing a stochastic model of arm swing to create a standardized testing framework for rotational energy harvesters, ensuring reliable performance across a broad population. He also developed an ultra-thin (3.3 mm) rotational electret harvester using flexible printed circuit boards and metal ball bearings, a design breakthrough for battery-less wearable devices. His research further explores the critical effect of natural frequency on power generation, demonstrating that output is significantly influenced by the harvester’s resonance characteristics during walking. With his most-cited papers accumulating 8, 6, and 5 citations respectively, Miyoshi’s work is foundational for advancing self-powered wearables. His achievements offer practical pathways toward eliminating batteries in body-worn electronics, making him a key innovator in sustainable, human-powered energy solutions.
