MicroGen is developing a MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) based piezoelectric vibrational energy harvester technology to provide long lasting power for non-wireless electronics and wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Examples of WSN applications are shown in scrolling pictures above. The intent is to extend the lifetime of rechargeable batteries or eliminate them altogether using ambient vibration as the energy source (see Energy Harvesting Forum), and storing power on a ultra-capacitor (as shown in figure 1) or rechargeable battery providing Generations of Power™ (estimated > 20 year reliability).

MicroGen's product development efforts are being carried out at the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility. These efforts are currently funded in part through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

MicroGen's BOLT060™ (60 Hz) and BOLT120 (120 Hz) power generator products are global, scalable, green renewable energy power sources. MicroGen products will eliminate or extend the life of lithium batteries 6-fold in WSN applications and significantly reduce the cost to deploy and maintain WSNs. Initial application fields are shown in the above scrolling pictures.
