energy scavenging

Energy scavenging, also known as energy harvesting, involves capturing small amounts of energy from natural or artificial sources in the environment—such as sunlight, movement, heat, or vibrations—and converting it into usable electrical power. This technology enables devices, like sensors and wearable electronics, to operate independently without needing batteries or frequent charging. By harnessing ambient energy present around us, energy scavenging promotes sustainable and maintenance-free power solutions, especially for remote or embedded systems. It leverages passive energy sources, making technology more efficient and environmentally friendly.
