SNAPS Team Unveils Innovative Energy Systems Powered by Movement

A groundbreaking research team, the 'Sustainable Nano- and Micro-powered Systems (SNAPS)' group, is developing innovative energy systems. These systems, named SNAPS, aim to harness environmental energy from movements, aiming to replace batteries and power outlets.

The SNAPS systems, designed to be largely self-sufficient, convert mechanical energy from sources like human, animal, and machine movements into usable electricity. They consist of a small generator and matched electronics, enabling efficient operation and voltage adjustment.

The SNAPS research team envisions a wide range of applications. These include monitoring machines and installations, such as wind turbines, and powering tracking chips in dairy farming. The systems are designed to be easily expandable in size, ranging from a few centimeters to several decimeters, and use recyclable materials for a long lifespan.

The SNAPS project, led by the SNAPS research team, seeks independence from traditional power sources. By converting environmental energy into electricity, these systems promise sustainability and longevity, opening up new possibilities in various industries.
