What is Energy Harvesting?
Energy harvesting enables devices to generate their needed power by capturing ambient energy from the environment. Imagine a smartwatch never runs out of juice, thanks to the kinetic energy generated by the movements. Or consider industrial sensors that can operate independently in remote areas, drawing power from natural elements like sunlight or temperature differentials.
In the simplest terms, energy harvesting transforms otherwise wasted energy into a useful form of power. This energy can be sourced from a myriad of ambient factors:
- Solar Energy: Devices equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity.
- Kinetic Energy: Mechanical movements, like walking or even small vibrations, can be converted into electrical power.
- Thermal Energy: Temperature differences between a device and its surroundings can be utilized to generate electricity.
- Wind and Fluid Energy: Miniaturized wind turbines or flow generators can capture energy from air or fluid flow.
