The Mission

To mediate global warming, by filling in gaps in the energy transition, through a new type of energy generator/harvester.

The Challenge 

Global warming is an ever-increasing problem. To properly fight this, an energy transition is required. This energy transition is already taking place, with more and more solar and wind power being generated. However, there are many untapped sources of electric energy, such as small motions in everyday life.

The Solution

We propose a small generator that can convert the kinetic energy from small movements into electric energy. The generator consists of two plates that are repeatedly pushed together and released, thus generating small amounts of electric power. It can then be further used to power devices that do not require a lot of power, for example, wearable electronics or self-powered sensors.
