Dielectric elastomer generators are a form of variable capacitor electricity generator with a high energy density and high flexibility. Currently, dielectric elastomer generators require external circuitry which makes the system bulkier and less flexible. In this paper we present a system that minimizes the external circuitry to six diodes so that high energy density and flexibility is maintained at the system level. An energy density of 12.6 mJ/g was experimentally demonstrated, comparing favorably with similarly sized electromagnetic and electrostatic power generators. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
