  Human motion,waves on the sea and the wind,provide many opportunities for harvesting green and renewable energy.Such energy sources are stochastic and low frequency(< 10 Hz).Motion amplitudes can be very high too; often a metre or more.A means for harvesting this natural energy must match the low mechanical impedance of these sources and their time varying amplitudes.
