 Electric circuitConsists of Arduino, Op-amp, resistors, transformer, capacitors, and isolators. |  harvesterRun (previous group)Data was collected using MATLAB from the previous group. Figure 1 measures the source voltage of our transformer. Figure 2 measures the output load voltage from the pyroelectric material. Figure 3 measures the output current from the pyroelectric material. Figure 4 measures the temperature of the material using a thermocouple. |  Harvester run (not working)Brief explanation of their output. |

Phase 1
An electrical circuit was obtained from the previous group to continue the project. Throughout the first few weeks, the team spent most of the time understanding the circuit design and the concept of Pyrolectricity. Many test were conducted to repeat the results from the previous group using the liquid crystral material but was unable to do so. The team had concluded the previous results were incorrect due to design flaw.
