Energy Harvesting

Wearable electronics could be perpetually powered by stretchy, self-mending materials that use body heat to generate electricity. Three carefully curated organic compounds have been combined to develop a prototype thermoelectric material that is both stretchy and self-healing, can generate its own electricity, and is robust enough to withstand the stresses and strains of daily life.

BioSolar Inc plans to evolve its technology to become a larger scale developer of breakthrough battery technologies for the electric vehicle market.\r\n \r\n\r\n

Technologies shaping future retailing

On November 20 & 21 the IDTechEx Show! opens in the Santa Clara convention center to 3,500 people representing technology scouts and innovation managers from global brands to suppliers from across the value chain.

Airborne Wind Energy AWE employs tethered flying objects to make electricity. \r\nAWE reads well on to four technological megatrends:\r\nMake electricity where you need it\r\nZero emissions\r\nMobility\r\nLittle or no infrastructure: self-sufficient equipment rapidly installed and rapidly relocated according to need\r\n\r\n

IDTechEx Launchpad will showcase innovations from 12 start-up companies at the IDTechEx Show! held in Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, USA (www.IDTechEx.com/USA). All winners will be showing a new working prototype or product, many for the first time.

The innovative battery uses thermochemical material to store renewable energy in an inexpensive and lossless way. This helps to bridge longer periods, especially during winter months, when there is less or no energy from sun, wind or other sustainable sources.

Hyundai Motor is launching its first car with a solar roof charging system. The system supports the vehicle's electric power source, improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.
