Wurth Elektronik EFM32 Gecko Energy Harvesting

EFM32 Giant Gecko low-power microcontroller module, USB cable. EFM32 Gecko Energy Harvesting Solution To Go Design Kit. Environmental energy can be harvested and converted to electricity for small autonomous devices, making them self sufficient. For use where mains power is unavailable or costly, where batteries are costly or difficult to replace and where energy is needed only when ambient energy is present. This kit allows the engineer to experiment with various sources of 'free' energy. Features and Benefits: On-board solar cell and thermo-electric (Peltier) generator Interface and connector for optional inductive and piezoelectric generators. Applications: Laptop computers Nodes in a remote sensor network Space satellites Sensor communication in the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
