Energy Harvesting
- Formal
-
The process by which energy is derived from external sources and stored for small, wireless autonomous devices (biological, chemical, induction). Applications can be found in wireless sensor networks or wearable tech. Energy sources are, among others, sun, wind, or kinetic energy.
- Practical
-
Technologies which use small amounts of energy from close proximity to power small wireless devices. Applications can be found in wireless sensor networks or wearable tech. Energy sources are, among others, sun, wind, or kinetic energy.
