The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. But solar is just the opening gambit. A backpack with a giant solar panel might work technically, but not in reality. volts for about 60 hours. Leveraging watch tech for…bisons?

The BMW i3’s independent vehicle architecture consists of a drive module as an aluminum chassis, which carries the e-drive, the suspension and the high-voltage battery as well as a passenger cell made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) called the life module. The BMW Group plant in Leipzig also has such an energy storage farm.

Rather than shoot it in a gun, it would sling it from the end of of a carbon-fiber tether that spins around in a vacuum chamber for as long as an hour before reaching terminal speed. And as there’s a certain amount of energy stored in the tether itself, you can recapture that through regenerative braking.”. SpinLaunch.

Here to talk about its so-called Powerfoyle solar cell technology is Exeger’s founder and CEO, Giovanni Fili. So what we’re doing is we’re trying to eliminate this or reduce or eliminate this battery anxiety by integrating— seamlessly integrating, I should say, a solar cell. And the solar cell can take the shape. Fili: Yeah.
