MicroGen and Infinite Power Solutions Create New Energy Evaluation Kit

MicroGen Systems, Inc of Ithaca, NY, and Infinite Power Solutions, Inc. of Littleton, CO, recently created a complete Wireless Sensor Network solution powered by a combination of their products.

At the Sensors Expo and Tradeshow 2011, MicroGen’s MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) based Piezoelectric Vibrational Energy Harvester (PZEH) micro-power generator product called the BOLT™060 combined with the THINERGY® IPS-EVAL-EH-01 Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit from IPS to power-up a wireless sensor board.

The IPS-EVAL-EH-01 is a universal energy harvesting evaluation kit that accepts energy from a variety of energy harvesting transducers and efficiently stores the energy in a THINERGY® MEC101 solid-state micro-energy cell (MEC), a thin-film battery the size of a postage stamp. The THINERGY MEC101 is a near loss-less energy storage device making it ideal to accept charge currents less than 1 harvesting applications..

MicroGen is developing a MEMS-based PZEH family of products under BOLT™ intended to enable low power electronic devices.
