New year, new section : market opportunities !
A section that completes the main part by bringing articles on opportunities, especially through ideas or concepts.
Hello to all,
First newsletter of the year and already some new features on The Energy Harvesting Revolution : a new section "market opportunities".
A section that completes the main part by bringing articles on opportunities, especially through ideas or concepts.
We want to give a less futuristic image of energy harvesting, because it is a current phenomenon. New technologies that use available energy are emerging. Indeed, the solutions we used to use in our daily life are no longer economically and ecologically viable.
We let you discover all this just below.
Have a good reading,

Mechanical energy harvesters with tensile efficiency of 17.4% and torsional efficiency of 22.4% based on homochirally plied carbon nanotube yarns. Improved methods are needed for harvesting mechanical energy. Coiled carbon nanotube yarns, termed twistrons, use stretch-induced changes in electrochemical capacitance to convert mechanical energy to electricity. Elongation of the yarn produces such large lateral Poisson’s ratios that the yarns are highly stretch densified, which contributes to harvesting. Here we report plied twistrons, instead of coiled, which increase the energy conversion efficiency of the yarns from 7.6% to 17.4% for stretch and to 22.4% for twist. Read more…

High-efficient energy harvesting architecture for self-powered thermal-monitoring wireless sensor node based on a single thermoelectric generator. In recent years, research on transducers and system architectures for self-powered devices has gained attention for their direct impact on the Internet of Things in terms of cost, power consumption, and environmental impact. The concept of a wireless sensor node that uses a single thermoelectric generator as a power source and as a temperature gradient sensor in an efficient and controlled manner is investigated.

Récupération d'énergie électromagnétique pour alimenter des objets connectés à faible consommation. Alors que l'IoT explose, ce manuscrit retranscrit les travaux de thèse réalisés dans le but de poser un regard sur la faisabilité de substituer les piles, source d'alimentation des objets connectés par les ondes WiFi dans la bande ISM à 2.4 GHz. Cette substitution représente aujourd'hui un enjeu de développement durable de l'IoT pour l'économie des ressources consommables que sont les piles. Alimenter l'intégralité de l'IoT avec des piles pourrait représenter jusqu'à 60 millions de tonnes (0.02%) d'émission de gaz à effet de serre chaque année.Il convient de définir les contraintes énergétiques du système qui serait uniquement alimenté par la récupération des ondes WiFi environnantes..

IoT in 2023 – in a groove with energy harvesting, in a rut with printable electronics. The latest edition of ABI Research’s likeable annual tech predictions about what will fly in the year ahead, and what will splutter on the runway and return to the shed, has come up with a couple of interesting counterpoints in the massive IoT saga. Energy harvesting IoT solutions will start to gain some commercial traction in 2023, it reckons. But printed electronics, in the form of circuit boards and batteries, remains a work-in-progress, it said. Read more…
Batteryless Microcontrollers -The future of IoT. Technology is the driving force that is leading the charge of human civilization on our planet today, And perhaps no technology is quite as emblematic of this as the Internet of Things. Barely more than a decade old in actuality and maybe two in theory, the internet of things has already transformed into a relentless juggernaut, showing explosive growth in recent years and leaving massive disruption in its wake. Well on its merry way both in terms of consumer adoption and huge investments, just about every industry in the world has borne witness to the transforming power of IoT technology. Read more…
Energy Harvesting Circuit Enables Ultra-Low Power Apps. Today, the trend common to every electronics sector is the search for maximum efficiency. Energy harvesting techniques can not only minimize—if not eliminate—maintenance interventions, but it can also reduce current consumption and minimization of power losses, enabling more efficient use of energy resources and the fulfillment of requirements imposed by recent global regulations.

The session presented the EIC Pathfinder challenge "In-space solar energy harvesting for innovative space applications".Â
This is targeted towards research organisations, SMEs and start-ups and companies, that want to carry out potentially disruptive but risky research, starting from low technology readiness levels. Future EIC Pathfinder applicants had the opportunity to present themselves, their space activities and type of partners they are looking for in a very short presentation (2-3 minutes). Read more…
