WHAT IS SUPER REGENERATOR?
The Super Regenerator is the technology that derives small amounts of energy directly from the environment and converts it into electric power. Efficient power management is a key component for energy harvesting. One of the biggest issues is that the energy consumption from the function of power management is greater than the energy supply derived from the environment. That is why there are so many energy sources in our natural environment that have never been fully employed. Asahi Kasei Corp. has developed a step-up DC-DC converter that works while only consuming 1μW of power and tripod design Co., has developed Contactor technology that is a new way to provide electricity. DC-DC conversion and contactor both creates Super Regenerator as a sustainable energy source to make the planet better place.
