Schematics of Enervibe’s adjustable KEH for IOT
Feedback from a microcontroller and a vibration sensor allows detection of changes in the frequency and frequency amplitude that are used to adjust the harvester to its peak power conversion.
High power conversion 🡪 smaller harvester 🡪 cheaper harvester
