Maker is always sensitive to the new and funny things. One day, I watched a video, in which the sunflower moves along with the sun. I had a sudden insight then. Why can’t I make a electronic device inmitating this biomechanism. In the following days, I began to carry out my solar tracker project. I […]

There is energy everywhere around us and in many different forms. Many devices have been developed to harvest light, wind, waves, and more. One unusual place of energy harvesting is from passing cars. As cars pass by some of their energy is released in form of sound. Even though the overall energy maybe small it
Harvesting Sound Energy From Passing Cars Continue Reading
