St. Louis, Missouri, USA – April 9, 2013 – Laird Technologies, Inc., a leading global technology company, announced today that it will demonstrate its Thermobility™ Wireless Power Generator series at Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe. The event will be held at the International Congress Centrum ICC Berlin in Berlin, Germany, April 17-18, 2013. Laird Technologies will exhibit at booths P7 and P8.
The Thermobility™ Series are self-contained thin-film thermoelectric power generators that harvest waste heat and convert it to usable DC power. Due to its compact size, ability to regulate voltage and store power, these products are ideal for powering wireless sensors, low power LEDs or trickle charge batteries where a heat source is readily available. When combined with Laird’s eTEG™ embedded thermoelectric power generators, Thermobility provides turn-key solutions for design engineers as opposed to designing a complex thermal energy harvester.
“Thermobility is the ideal energy harvesting solution for autonomous, self-powered sensor networks,” said Karl von Gunten, Laird Technologies Marketing Manager. “Our wireless power generation solutions can store energy and provide on-demand power while reducing the total cost of ownership by eliminating the prohibitive cost of battery replacement.”
Laird’s Engineered Thermal Systems Group will also showcase a new generation of thermoelectric power generators and embedded wireless solutions. The eTEG PG8000 Series is a new series of thin-film thermoelectric power generators that offer higher power, more robust mechanical design and ease of integration with common sources of thermal energy. Laird’s wide range of embedded wireless solutions are designed to add true power and performance to any product including end-to-end solutions for M2M data acquisition and control.
Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe is the world’s largest event covering energy harvesting and storage technologies and applications. The tradeshow brings together over 1,600 top level executives from more than 35 countries for networking opportunities along with the conference portion which features case studies, Masterclasses and world first announcements from leading companies in the energy harvesting and storage industry.
