Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

But to incorporate many different types of sensors, we need different material designs and tools. Not least of those considerations is energy storage [and generation].” A little device that harvests energy from a runner’s evening jog clearly is not designed for a massive bison, which can weigh up to a tonne.
