This project explores a method for capturing, storing, and utilizing ambient energy from various natural and environmental sources. The system leverages inductive elements, capacitive components, and strategic circuit design to harvest energy from both the Earth's ground potential and electromagnetic fields (EMF).
By tuning and optimizing energy pathways, this harvester demonstrates the potential for capturing small, otherwise untapped energy sources.
Further experimentation focuses on improving the stability and efficiency of the energy collection process, refining circuit architecture, and enhancing energy storage capacity.
The components list is not exhaustive and does not include all components.
Hey Rhea, interesting work! I've long wondered with ultra-low-power electronics being so ultra-low-power if it's possible to harvest enough energy from the ambient fields to power something mildly useful! If you're looking for some way to more precisely measure the success of your experiments, you may want to check out my project. It can accurately measure current as low as a few nanoamps and allow you to see it in realtime so you can adjust and optimize - maybe it would be helpful? https://hackaday.io/project/193628-metashunt-high-dynamic-range-current-measurement
