On-Demand Energy Harvesting Techniques - A System Level Perspective Unknown - 2012

Información de la editorial

The work contained in this publication details how the Mechanical energy from the finger motion is harvested and converted into Electrical energy and used to power a custom remote control system on an on-demand basis. The power generated from the electromagnetic generator at the heart of the energy harvester measured as much as 40.9 milliWatt. This is high enough for many off-the-shelf RF transceivers and can be adopted for various kinds of custom remote control systems. The author forsees a future where energy harvesting takes center stage in everyday life. The energy harvester in this publication can replace batteries in many low and moderate power remote control systems. Some of which include Car wireless entry, Remote Garage door opener and Battery-less switches. Imagine a future where all conduit wiring in the homes that run to and from switches were eliminated because the current system of switches have been replaced with energy harvesting modules. Imagine how many copper wires and conduit materials that would be saved. Besides all that, the environment would be greener and safer because there would be less disposal of batteries which constitute environmental pollution.
