Graphene Energy Harvesting (GEH)
Freestanding graphene exists in a constant state of motion. This movement can form a variable capacitor in an electrical circuit, converting kinetic energy to electrical potential energy that can be extracted by the circuit. NTS has obtained the exclusive worldwide license to develop Graphene Energy Harvesting or (GEH) into commercial products.
The Power of Scale
Alone Graphene Energy Harvesting Circuits or (GEHCs) produce minute levels of power. The potential lies in their microscopic physical size. Measured in nanometers, GEHCs are ideal for mass duplication on silicon chips. When embedded on a chip in arrays, they can work together to produce higher levels of power output.
Clean Energy Without External Dependence
GEH derives its energy from naturally occurring oscillations in graphene. Since no fuel is used, there is no waste or emissions created in the generation process. Furthermore, because energy extraction is self contained inside the chip, there is no dependence on sun, wind, vibration or fluid. This enables GEH to function in a vast number of environments at an energy density superior to that of traditional renewable technologies.
Fundamental Change In Energy Delivery
Packaging GEH in a format compatible with printed circuit boards will allow designers and engineers to easily adapt products to become self-powered. With GEH, energy demands will be satisfied at the device level, giving electronics a new degree of mobility and functionality. First generation chips will be ideal for solving battery life issues typically associated with remote sensor networks.
