The energy independent flow meter with remote reading
Šindelář, Jindřich ; Růžek, Václav (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the design of a self-powered sensor for measurement of water flow rate and temperature in water pipelines. The key block of this thesis is the construction of an electric generator powered by excitation with turbulent flow. The generated voltage should power the sensor's circuits and allow water flow rate measurements. Throughout the development, three prototypes of generators powered by turbulent flow were created. Turbulences were not created by an insertion of a bluff body but by inner geometry of the pipeline elements. Maximum power of 10,66 uW was generated at flow rate of 8 m3/h. Afterwards, a prototype of water flow rate and temperature sensor was assembled. Energy self-sufficiency of the device at common flow rates was not achieved using the chosen procedure. The designed flow rate measurement method is suitable for an approximate flow rate estimation.

Home Security and Monitoring System
Valach, Lukáš ; Crha, Adam (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The thesis elaborates on an implementation of wireless home security system. The wireless communication utilizes IEEE 802.15.4 radios and ZigBee communication protocol. The beginning of the thesis provides specification of the intended system followed by an evaluation of usable energy harvesting solutions and later by consideration of single board computer systems suitable for implementation of the control node of the sensor network. The rest of the thesis describes design, implementation and testing of particular components of the security system. Conclusion evaluates the achieved goals and offers suggestions for future work. The end products of the thesis are physical devices implementing wireless sensor nodes, control unit of the security system as well as a graphical user interface for the system management.

Proposal of topology of piezoceramic composite sensor
Dostal, Vojtěch ; Ševeček, Oldřich (referee) ; Majer, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master thesis deals with design and numerical modelling of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed on a rail, in order to generate electrical energy, which can be used for wireless monitoring of railway traffic and to monitor the condition of the railway. The thesis is divided into three parts. Theoretically background of piezoelectric energy harvesting is described in first part, where some previous application of piezoelectric generator in railway area are shown. In the second part, parametric analysis of numerical model is performed, which directly leads to finding best location on a rail, where piezoelectric generator should be placed. For this analysis the homogenized model of MFC sensor was used. Results of the numerical model were then compared with the results of the conducted experiment. The third part presented own design of piezoceramic sensor, which is placed onto most suitable location on a rail. Results from numerical analysis shown eligibility of using piezoceramic sensor to monitor the railway traffic.

Magnetostrictive materials for mechatronics
Rusková, Miroslava ; Kovář, Jiří (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
The aim of this work is to outline and use or application of magnetostrictive materials and possibilities of mathematical modeling their behavior. Magnetostrictive is the physical character of the material, occurs in the most ferromagnetic materials and leads to many effects. Magnetostrictive materials are more often used to in various branches of engineering.

Use of the Energy Harvesting Method
Dobrovolná, Terezie ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of Energy Harvesting. It contains suggestions for obtaining electric power from alternative sources located inside the laminar box such as light, heat or vibration. Electricity is also used to power sensors and measure solid particles in the air. If a certain particle concentration is exceeded, the acoustic sensor alerts. The work also focuses on the compilation of a block diagram of the device, experimental construction and verification of the functionality of the entire system.

Mechatronic Proposal of Electromagnetic Vibration Power Generator
Jurosz, Pavel ; Houška, Pavel (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with modifications to the construction of vibration-to-electricity energy converter, which is one of possible solutions to problem of sustainable and stable energy source for wireless sensor supply. Upon the exploration of the present state of this problem, new construction of generator is proposed. The aim of this proposal is to enhance the existing generator properties with respect to retention of its dimensions and its weight. Results obtained by simulations of model with proposed parameters are presented and analysed.
