An update on the Energy Sims World Project.


My recent work has been involved in designing schematics for two chips, the BQ25504 which takes power from micro power sources and stores them in a battery/capacitor, and the P1110 which converts Radio waves and converts it into a DC voltage, powering an onboard LED or charging a battery/capacitor.

BQ25504

The aim is to use this chip to harvest energy in the form of micro- and milli- watts from sources such as solar, wind, fruits and dead batteries. Another prospect of this board is use in education, comparing the harvested energy with the energy used by a house, or general appliances around the house.

This chip can be used to convert ubiquitous RF waves into a DC voltage. This chip will also be used in another project to power a wireless sensor.
