EnOcean uses kinetic converters in order to power their batteryless radio switches [19]. Kinetron offers weight, rotational and linear based converters with a broad application range including watches, water industry, sanitary applications and similar applications [15].

The PowerWalk system by Bionic Power aims at avoiding soldiers having to carry batteries on their mission by using kinetic converters, with a targeted harvest of 10–12 W [20, 21]. Future applications are aimed at forestry, mining and consumers.

Fu et al. demonstrated the use of airflows in micro turbine implemented in a shoe with a power of 6 mW [22]. Many researchers demonstrated the use of piezoelectric converters. A review has been provided by Sun et al. [23].
