Wireless and remote sensors, data loggers and other low power devices allow for deliberate distribution in the field at low initial cost. In most cases, however, they contain a battery which will run empty, causing inevitable cost for maintenance staff, access effort, material and environmentally compatible waste disposal.
Micropelt’s power bolt represents a new generation of remote power supply which provides uninterupted long term supply without a need for wiring up the device. A few milliwatts of continuous power are readily available from many warm or hot surfaces of industrial machinery or process equipment. The power bolt shows the concept of a maintenance-free thermal power supply. We look forward to supporting your custom product implementation.
