摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and energy generators that generate electrical energy through direct explosive shock wave depolarization of at least one ferroelectric element. In one embodiment, a generator (10) comprises a ferroelectric element (12), output terminals (14) coupled with the ferroelectric element (12), an explosive charge (16), and a detonator (18) coupled with the explosive charge (16). The detonator (18) is operable to detonate the explosive charge (16) to generate a shock wave that propagates at least partially through the ferroelectric element (12) to generate a voltage across at least two of the output terminals (14).
