Patented vibration energy harvesting. Built for IoT scale.
The WaveHarvester converts ambient vibration into stable, regulated DC power for wireless sensors, eliminating battery dependency in environments where maintenance is costly or impractical.
Five steps from vibration to sensor power
Vibration
Ambient vibrations (HVAC, fans, machinery, structural) excite piezoelectric bimorph transducers
Vibration
Mechanical stress generates alternating electrical charge
Vibration
Power management IC rectifies and regulates output to stable DC
Vibration
Supercapacitor buffer stores energy for burst transmissions
Vibration
Regulated 3.3V/5V output powers wireless sensor continuously
Think of it as a rain barrel. The harvester collects small amounts of energy continuously. The supercapacitor stores it. When the sensor needs to transmit, it draws from the reservoir. The barrel refills between transmissions — 50 to 100 times faster than it empties.
The only energy source that works everywhere sensors do
Method | Source | Datacenter | Factory floor | Underground |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Vibration | Mechanical | Abundant (HVAC, fans) | Abundant | Abundant (trains) |
RF | Radio waves | Very low output | Very low | Fails (no signal) |
Thermal (TEG) | Heat difference | Fails (controlled cooling) | Limited | Limited |
Solar (PV) | Light | Fails (dark server halls) | Limited | Fails (no light) |
