Energy Harvesting and Power Management System
Team: Joule Thief-Hot Rod Electric Engergy Harvesting Team
Program:
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Project Description:
This project looks at a DC-DC boost converter joule thief that explores the augmentation of a limited amount of voltage in a battery. A joule thief underlined by bipolar junction transistors is constructed and a subsequent PCB prototype is made to enhance the functioning of the converter attached to the voltage source.
Since the team encompasses two groups, the second uses a Thermoelectric Generator that uses the Seebeck effects and thermodynamic differences to ensure the transmission of voltage from the ground for power supply to an attached load.
