Electronic Design--“AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief Energy Harvesting Demonstration Kit provides aneasy way to eliminate batteries in wireless sensing.” *click title to close.
Texas Instruments--"During the show at booth #830, TI will have demonstrations of the recently announced eZ430-RF2500-SEH kit in addition to AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief™ energy piezoelectric harvester" *click title to close.
DevMonkey--“AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief Energy Harvesting Demonstration Kit provides an easy way to eliminate batteries in wireless sensing applications. Combined with Texas Instruments’ eZ430-RF2500 wireless development tool that AdaptivEnergy also supplies, the wireless control network hardware and software can also be designed.” *click title to close.
EE Times - Deustchland --“Energy harvesting of ultra-low-power conversion devices is going to be a recurrent theme of 2009…Texas Instruments will be pushing the energy harvesting boundaries forward this year. One of those conversion technologies was developed by AdaptivEnergy LLC [Six degree - Link 2]…” *click title to close.
Design News-- “Man's quest to build perpetual motion machines is taking an unexpected twist these days, as electronics' makers and start-up companies team up on a new breed of ultra-low-power products with the potential to run, well ... almost forever. *click title to close.
Nuts and Volts--"I had a chance to evaluate a general-purpose energy harvesting device about the size of a 9V battery. The piezo-based device is called Joule-Thief, from AdaptivEnergy (http://www.adaptivenergy.com). The electrical equivalent of a self-wound watch, the Joule-Thief converts movement into electrical energy. That is, the Joule-Thief transforms the movement of a piezoelectric sensor to a 3.6V output. The movement could be from walking, running, the vibration of an engine, or the rocking motion of a boat moored to a dock." *click title to close.
EE Times - Deustchland--“The Joule-thief energy harvester collects and stores electrical energy from tiny mechanical vibrations…implement ambient intelligence that can detect and report critical conditions in factories, automobiles, offices, homes and other environments, all without wiring or batteries,” explained Jim Vogeley, CEO, AdaptivEnergy.

Texas Instruments--“Demonstrating the advantages of energy harvesting and radio frequency (RF) technology for wireless sensing, monitoring or ambient intelligence, …An emerging market with vast potential according to Darnell Group, the potential worldwide market for energy harvesting solutions used in wireless sensor systems could reach approximately 164 million units by 2013, a compound annual growth rate of nearly 65 percent.” Click to view for full article. *click title to close.
EDA Geek--"Gathering data from difficult or dangerous-to-reach locations using wired sensors may be impossible and or even compromise the safety of personnel installing wiring and replacing batteries. Today, however, AdaptivEnergy’s Joule-Thief technology makes remote structural and safety monitoring a straightforward and relatively inexpensive process."

Wireless Design & Developtment Asia--"Joule-Thief technology combines AdaptivEnergy's stressed-biased RLP energy harvesting beam that converts vibrations or movement into usable electric energy. The RLP Smart Energy Beam allows up to 10 times more strain to be applied to the piezoceramic than competing piezoelectric energy harvesting devices, creating more converted electric power for system use."

EE Times--“For many, the concept of energy harvesting is tightly associated with the 'green' movement. While that's certainly one aspect, it overlooks a whole range of applications that have less to do with solving the world's so-called energy crisis and more to do with solving the problem of powering remote or embedded devices - indefinitely. That is, without wires and without potentially expensive battery replacement.” *click title to close. |
