This letter presents a fully soft dielectric elastomer generator (DEG) based on a capacitive kinetic-energy-harvesting mechanism. First, using the principle of a passive charge pump, a self-cycling conditioning circuit topology is proposed. Through the electrical reciprocity of a cyclically deformin...
