Ambient energy is in the environment all around us, whether it’s light, vibrations and heat from machinery, or even the kinetic energy that we generate by just walking around. The goal of energy harvesting is to convert this typically wasted energy into usable power. Many applications are already being powered via energy harvesting, with more to follow as the technology improves. In this eBook, we’ll discuss the different types of energy harvesting, the technologies underlying them, and some of the energy harvesting applications that are currently in development.
