MicroGen at Sensors Expo

• MicroGen will be heading to the Sensors Expo in Chicago in June 2010 as a hot new technology in "MEMS Lane."  The company has been gaining global recognition for its technology, which is the world's first commercially available low-cost, small size, long lifetime MEMS-based Piezoelectric Vibrational Energy Harvester (PZEH).  The BOLT(tm) family of micro-rechargers will be available at frequencies 50/60 and 100/120 Hz with power outputs of at least 100 uWatts at 0.1g acceleration, and as high as 1.0 mWatt at 1.0g. These devices can be integrated in multiple power-storage (ultra-cap or advanced thin-film battery) demo-boards, and wireless sensor network (WSN) demo-kits available on the market today. Alpha-product is set to be released in fall 2010. 

A "self-charging battery" is formed when MicroGen's micro-rechargers are integrated with EH boards with voltage regulating electronics and power storage (advanced thin-film batteries and/or ultra-capacitors) available from MicroGen's commercial partners.  The finished size is as small as a conventional AA battery.

MicroGen President and CTO Robert Andosca will also be a featured speaker this summer at the prestigious SEMICON West 2010, in San Francisco in July.
