Energy harvesting is a very popular means of augmenting batteries or displacing their use for powering the wireless sensor networks; however, an alternative approach is to use wireless power delivery to energise the nodes. For a network occupying a well-known and confined physical geometry, it may be possible to achieve this via one or multiple sources in fixed locations; however, when the nodes cover a wide area, or are themselves mobile, fixed sources may not be practical. A possible solution is to use drones which can fly close to the sensor nodes, which then transfer power inductively from drone to node. In such systems the drone could also be used to gather data from the sensors nodes, reducing their power requirement for long distance data transmission. However, here we investigate the power electronics and energy storage solutions for this so-called synthetic sensor network (synthsense) setup. Here we describe the preliminary hardware subsystems which will allow the demonstration of synthsense.
