Energy Harvesting

Sources

photovoltaic
electrodynamic
piezoelectric
thermoelectric

Energy can be captured from:

linear motion
solar
thermal
vibrations
rotation
radiowaves
air pressure changes
muscle contraction
blood sugar fuel cells
organic material

How does it work?

First the source is selected considering the best way in specific case in example photovoltaics(PV) in very sunny place etc. After or during the energy harvesting(EH) the energy which is harvested from the source will be conversed to electricity and stored to suitable store (capacitor, rechargeable battery) or used instantly.

Source -> Conversion -> Storage management -> Mote
