As you walk around your yard on a typical day, energy in the form of light, thermal, wind, mechanical and electromagnetic radiation is present at virtually every turn. The harnessing and collection of this ambient energy into a useful form is called Energy Harvesting, Energy Scavenging or sometimes Micro-Energy. If you think about a large commercial scale windmill, the turbine blades only capture high potential energy directly in contact with the blades. They need a fairly high-sustained wind speed to turn this potential into usable electricity. All the .. Continue reading →
