As wireless devices provide the power of micro-generator

Wireless equipment mainly rely on battery power, at least in the present case. But soon they will be able to produce by itself the kinetic energy to power supply. Perpetuum and Innos company has formed a joint team to develop a reliance on embedded silicon devices from the power of wireless devices, this silicon devices by collecting environmental vibration energy to produce useful power.

Perpetuum developing mechatronic system than a matchbox, which consists in a vibration Purlin on multiple magnets.

The magnet through a coil will produce a power up to 4mW, this power is enough for a sensor, a microprocessor and a wireless connection to provide energy. Subsequently, Perpettuum and Innos developed the 5 × 5 × 1.5 mm Silicon micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) micro-generator.

Silicon MEMS micro Perpetuum generator in appropriate conditions, can produce hundreds of micro-Watts of power, the power to drive a full-power supply system of sensors, small microprocessor and RF transmitter.

Innos CEO Andrew Monk said: "Imagine if a cardiac pacemaker to patients their bodies energy supply, it is no longer necessary to install the battery, but also no longer need to have an operation to replace battery!"

According to the CEO Roy Freeland Perpetuum, the next critical step is it embedded in the silicon chip to substantially reduce its volume and cost.

If this step is successful, the two companies prediction market will emerge from power monitoring application.

These systems are able to observe engine, pulley, pump and gearbox and other machines.

They can also supply power to the sensor system and from sensor systems of signal test rotating parts, stator, rotor, shaft and driven. The system can be permanently embedded into those hard-to-access to buildings, such as bridges and roads. Moreover, they can also be used for vehicles, containers, and asset tracking.
