Changing temperature powers sensors in hard-to-reach places

September 3, 2014

A centuries-old clock built for a king is the inspiration for a group of computer scientists and electrical engineers who hope to harvest power from the air.

The clock, powered by changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure, was invented in the early 17th century by a Dutch builder. Three centuries later, Swiss engineer Jean Leon Reutter built on that idea and created theAtmos mechanical clock that can run for years without needing to be wound manually.
