Patent ID: 8680751

Claim:
A hybrid generator, comprising: (a) a bio-compatible substrate; (b) at least one mechanical generating unit disposed on the bio-compatible substrate, including: (i) a first electrode and a spaced apart second electrode; (ii) a plurality of spaced apart elongated piezoelectric fibers, each having a first end that is in electrical communication with the first electrode and an opposite second end that is in electrical communication with the second electrode; and (iii) an insulative layer covering the first electrode, the second electrode and the plurality of spaced apart elongated piezoelectric fibers; (c) a third electrode and a fourth electrode, each disposed on the bio-compatible substrate opposite from the mechanical generating unit; (d) a proton conducting member disposed so as to be in contact with both the third electrode and the fourth electrode; (e) a glucose catalyzing enzyme electrically coupled to the third electrode; and (f) an oxidase enzyme electrically coupled to the fourth electrode, wherein the third electrode is in electrical communication with the first electrode and wherein the fourth electrode is in electrical communication with the second electrode.
