The Micro Power Harvester is an early-stage concept exploring whether small electronic devices can collect tiny amounts of energy from natural interactions, such as material contact, motion, or ambient static effects. Instead of depending fully on batteries or plugs, the idea is to give low-power devices a way to “top off” their own energy. This research focuses on possibilities, not final designs.
Status: Early Research
Category: Alternative Energy / Static / Triboelectric Effects
Overview
Rivera Inventions is researching natural materials and electrostatic principles to explore new ways of generating and storing small amounts of energy. This includes studying how tiny charges build up, how they can be conditioned, and whether they can be useful for micro-level electronics. No technical design details are shared publicly at this stage.
Current Focus
- Studying how different materials accumulate charge.
- Observing triboelectric and static interactions.
- Exploring early and modern concepts for low-power energy use cases.
- Laying groundwork for future tests (without revealing system design)
What This Project Aims to Do
The goal is to determine whether ultra-low-power electronics, like sensors or small indicators, can harvest micro-amounts of energy from everyday interactions. The project does not attempt to replace traditional power sources. Instead, it looks at ways a device might supplement its own energy needs. If possible, this could create tiny, self-maintaining systems that use almost no external power.
