The work described in this paper aims to test whether or not it is possible to power a system on energy harvested from vibrations and use that energy to measure how much it vibrates. The goal has been to produce a prototype system that uses that technique to discover damages on drones in an early stage. The reader will get to experience everything from design to testing of the system. The reader will also get an insight in which problems occurred during the project, how they have been handled and which conclusions have been made.The system could be applied in a variety of different situations to detect damages and which could prevent the damages from leading to severe problems.
