The product that will help potential users gather data about possible harvesting locations will be named 'Discovery', as this is the machine that will discover the best, most effective spots.
Basically, the Discovery will be a rugged unit for industrial use in potential hostile environments: outside trains or trucks, inside machine rooms at factories or high up a wind turbine. Great industrial design challenge.
The idea is, to make the Discovery the first step of the process. In order to limit future e-waste, the Discovery will be repurposed as a management console for the WaveHarvesters after collecting the necessary data. We don't want them to become e-waste after they've discovered great harvesting locations. An additional requirement for the design is to be suitable for permanent installation, and getting it ready for IP67/68 certification! Many more thoughts coming soon...
