Ambient Wireless Power Harvesting Sensor Platforms (WPHSP)

这项研究的目标是开发新的、环境的、能量收集设备，与电容器一起可以取代或增强电池。这种能量采集器可以在潮湿或暴露在低于冰点或超过60摄氏度的极端温度下的环境中提供电力，这些环境中电池无法工作或可能爆炸。电池还会将有毒的重金属浸出到周围的土壤和水中，因此它们不能留在室外或地下超过其可用的保质期。

The goal of this research is to develop new, ambient, power-harvesting devices that along with capacitors can replace or augment batteries. Such power harvesters can be useful to supply power in environments that are either moist or exposed to extreme temperatures below freezing or over 60 degrees Celsius in which batteries cannot operate or can explode. Batteries also leach toxic heavy metals into the soil and water around it due to which they cannot be left outdoors or in the ground beyond its usable shelf-life.
