Powering Smart Devices from Movement

What is Energy harvesting

Kinetic energy harvesting is a process that converts motion into electrical energy, which can be used to power small and low-energy electronics. Energy harvesters are devices that convert kinetic energy from the environment, such as ocean waves, machinery vibration, human motion, and vehicle movement, into electricity. The harvested energy is then stored for use by small, wireless autonomous devices, like those used in wearable electronics, condition monitoring, and wireless sensor networks.

What are the benefits

Energy harvesters are an innovative way to generate electricity from the environment to reduce the need for batteries or wiring. It is the perfect solution for powering IoT devices.

Here are some benefits:

Cost

Energy harvesters can be easily installed in just seconds, making them a cost-effective solution for generating electricity. They can be 10 times cheaper than batteries.

Reliability

Energy harvesters are highly reliable and can operate in harsh environments and at extreme temperatures with degrading.

Robust

Energy Harvesters are perfect for deployment in dangerous and inaccessible sites where it is difficult to power or replace batteries.

Safety

Energy harvesters are safe to use and do not pose any risk of explosion, fire, chemical leakage, or hazardous materials.

Low Maintenance

Energy harvesters do not require any hard wiring, which reduces the cost of installation and maintenance.

Long Life

Energy harvesters can have an operational life of more than 10 years, which means they can operate for the life of most equipment without the need for maintenance or replacement.

Recyclable

Unlike batteries, kinetic energy harvesting devices do not require any chemical disposal and are easily recycled, making them an eco-friendly solution for powering devices.
