Perpetuum has refined the principle of gathering and converting unused mechanical vibration, into useable electrical energy to power industrial wireless sensors.

This efficient power source is the PMG17 vibration energy harvester, which produces enough energy to power sensors, micro processors and RF systems, enabling critical performance data to be transmitted over wireless protocols, such as 802.15.4.

The PMG17 product range is particularly suitable for many industrial applications; such as Asset Tracking & Management, Process Monitoring, Plant Safety & Security, Environmental, Health and Safety systems can all rely on the PMG17 microgenerator as their power source.

We have published and made available to download, an Application Note and Design Reference to aid engineers designing self-powered wireless systems.

Other versions of the microgenerator are being developed for transportation, aerospace and medical applications.
