New Wireless Sensor Can Run Perpetually Forever - As we carry with us so many different devices these days, it makes
perfect sense if these devices were to be able to run just about
forever. However, that is far from possible at this point in time as
battery technology has yet to progress to such a degree, but it seems
that researchers from the Netherlands have taken a small step in the
right direction - by working on components first, and their effort has
resulted in a wireless sensor which will be able to draw power from a
nearby wireless network.
This
particular sensor would be as light as a grain of sand, where it can be
“painted” into walls so that it can help to monitor temperature, light,
movement, or humidity levels. After all, with the Internet of Things
making a rapid expansion of its presence, such a sensor would definitely
find a place in our future.
This team of researchers at Eindhoven
University of Technology in the Netherlands decided that such a
wireless temperature sensor will be able to juice itself up via the
electromagnetic waves in the air around it. Talk about not only hooking
up via Wi-Fi, but getting charged by itself at the same time - ain’t
that grand? This sensor measures approximately 0.08” on its side, and
will be able to remain powered indefinitely. The only drawback at the
moment? It cannot work if the distance between the sensor and the
special router is more than two and a half centimeters. Source: Ubergizmo
