Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A University of Massachusetts Amherst engineering team has recently shown that nearly any material can be turned into a device that continuously harvests electricity from humidity in the air. Researchers describe the ‘generic Air-gen effect’- nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest, cost effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity. The secret lies in […]

Optimization Of The Electromagnetic Energy Harvester
July 20, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Lise-Marie Lacroix from the Université de Toulouse, France, with colleagues from Toulouse, Grenoble and Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A have used a mathematical technique, finite element simulation, to optimize the design of an electromagnetic energy harvester so that it generates electricity as efficiently as possible. The scientists integrated the math into computer modeling to optimize the design […]
