Vibration Energy Harvesting
With the piezoelectric effect Vibration Energy Harvesting can be done. Mechanical energy in the form of vibration or shock can be convert into electrical energy in using a piezo module.
I use the Mide PPA 1001 module bought by mouser: https://www.mouser.de/new/Mide-Technology/mide-ppa-piezoelectric-products/

Solar Energy Harvesting
Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting
The Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting is done with the Seebeck effect, one phenomenon of the thermoelectric effect. A Peltier module can be used for that.
