| All processes that involve energy conversion are to some degree inefficient. Motors get hot, as do power transistors, automobile engines, and light bulbs; in each case, energy is wasted as heat. Radio stations put out megawatts of RF, but their signals reach antennas as microwatts. Energy harvesting devices capture some of this wasted energy, convert it to electricity, and put it to work. |

New Applications for
Energy Harvesting |
|
| By Mouser Electronics |
|
| The energy harvesting market is large and growing rapidly. According to analysts at IDTechEx, energy harvesting was a $0.7 billion market in 2012 and is expected to exceed $5 billion by 2022; by then, 250 million sensors will be powered by energy harvesting devices. The market for thermoelectric energy harvesting alone will reach $865 million by 2023. |

Avoiding an
Energy Storage Crisis |
|
| By Cymbet |
|
| If electronics manufacturers have a motto, it's probably this: Innovate or Die. For the most part, the electronics industry has done an amazing job of maintaining a high rate of capability increase and cost reduction. From wafer size to memory density to processor speed… capacity has doubled every two to three years and will continue to do so for many more. |

| Energy Harvesting Systems Power the Powerless |
|
| By Maxim |
|
| Energy harvesting uses unconventional energy sources to power circuitry. Typically, a tiny energy source is converted to electricity and stored in a durable storage cell such as a capacitor, super capacitor, or microenergy cell, which is a form of lithium solid-state battery. The system includes circuitry to manage the power and protect the storage device. |
