It feels like I&#39;ve just manouvered my egg-spaceship to a place that had to be explored; after months of travelling through low-power switchmode fields and changing my warp-core throug all low-power modes I finally puen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/energy-harvesting/b/blog/posts/putting-it-all-together-hardware-and-software-for-harvestingSat, 08 Jun 2013 19:10:52 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:eb9ca82e-6cc8-4ea4-a9fa-deb4d1dd33abDAB1<p>Congratulations Victor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I always like it when a plan comes together.</p><p>You also did a very good job of showing why energy harvesting has a long way to go.&nbsp; It&#39;s not easy to do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even with an abundance of wasted heat and energy, the ability to capture and reuse that energy is not trivial, nor for the most part, cost effective.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps once we begin to build ways to capture excess energy into devices, then we might reach a break-even point.&nbsp; I know a lot of us would like to pull out every erg we can find, but sometimes you have to just let it go.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, thank you for a very good blog series.&nbsp; You combined science, engineering and humour througout it all.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good job,</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16282&AppID=106&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
