hey, energy from piezoelectric materials is even and can be produced but can energy be produced from directly vibrations without any other source between them?

Huge concept. Definitely going to see more of this in the future.
And if this technology can be scaled up to larger and larger devices/applications it will really take off.

Steve,
why don’t you contact the Steve and Melinda Gates Foundation, perhaps they were interested your idea? Mr. Gates is very big into High Technology, monitoring submissions to Intelligent Ventures Lab, such as a new form of nuclear energy for our nation, using depleted uranium as its primary fuel.

I have a cell phone that has run in a continuous mode for over 2 years with my thermoelectric modules built on silicon, we have powered everything from cell phones and personal electronics to hybrid automobiles on our ambient temperature modules, we tested a unit on a Toyota hybrid, made 4700 miles without charging or running the gas engine, could have made ten times that but had to return the car. The short of it is finding the money to get launched, we have tried for 2 years and all the interested parties want control of the technology so where do we go from here?

If the technology improves, it would be good to see them in Mobile phones.

I just emailed Galchev about some possible applications, that may be a bit bold be eh, we’re all human.

This shows some promise for devices such as pacemakers and other body-implanted devices, not to mention the devices listed in the article.
