PowerMEMS 2013 IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 476 (2013) 012079 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/476/1/012079 resistance. Figure 7 shows the measured temperature of the top/bottom copper plates and the estimated temperature of the BaTiO3 capacitor, which is increased from 20 to 100 oC in about 300 s. Figure 8 shows the output voltage across a 1 GΩ resistive load. Up to 0.6 V is obtained, corresponding to about 30 nJ in 300 s. Although amount of the generated power in this early prototype is limited, the results are in accordance with prediction of the circuit model. Thus, the output power can be much increased by using the optimum C0*, much higher α, and higher surface potential with CYTOP electrets [13, 14]. It is also noted that the Currie temperature of Zr-added BaTiO3 could be as low as 60 oC, and α can be as large as 5. 4. CONCLUSION A new electret thermal generator using temporal temperature change has been proposed. A simplified circuit model is developed for parameter optimization. It is found that the optimum capacitance ratio is around unity and the output power is significantly increased with the capacitance increase rate. A preliminary experiment using BaTiO3 ceramic as the dielectric layer is carried out. It is demonstrated that the experimental data are well predicted with the present model.
