Energy-harvesting
【Developed product F-TEM environmental power generation】
It refers to a technology that harvests minute amounts of energy such as heat and vibration around us and converts them into electrical energy.
F-TEM generates an electromotive force when a temperature difference is applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the product (Seebeck effect).
Here is a Movie showing how power is generated by F-TEM.
Asahi Rubber will use F-TEM’s environmental power generation as a battery for energy harvesting, and propose battery-less systems that accompany the popularization of sensing applications and IoT.
