DARPA’s N-ZERO extends the lifetime of IoT devices and remote sensors from months to years

December 31, 2017 AI & IT, Thermal, Propulsion & Energy Comments Off on DARPA’s N-ZERO extends the lifetime of IoT devices and remote sensors from months to years

Today U.S. soldiers are being killed because the Defense Department cannot deploy all the sensors it would like to. DoD could deploy sensors every few yards to detect buried improvised explosive device (IED). As it is, every sensor deployed today has to be battery powered, so even if vast sensor nets …

Military Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology to alleviate the battlefield battery burden for soldiers, manned and unmanned vehicles

November 23, 2017 Defense & Military, Thermal, Propulsion & Energy Comments Off on Military Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology to alleviate the battlefield battery burden for soldiers, manned and unmanned vehicles

Wireless power transfer (WPT) or wireless energy transmission is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to a consuming device, without the use of discrete man-made conductors. WPT use wireless transmitter that uses any of time-varying electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields to convey energy to one or wore …

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFCs) becoming capable to provide continuous sustainable energy to power wireless ensors networks and underwater sensors

September 1, 2017 Thermal, Propulsion & Energy Comments Off on Microbial Fuel Cell (MFCs) becoming capable to provide continuous sustainable energy to power wireless ensors networks and underwater sensors

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), generate electric energy by converting chemical energy from organic compounds through catalytic reactions by microorganisms. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are envisioned as one of the most promising alternative renewable energy sources because they can generate electric current continuously while treating waste. While these cells individually produce …
