Joule-Thief

The AdaptivEnergy Joule-Thief miniature vibratory energy harvesting module is ideal for battery extension or replacement in wireless machinery conditioning monitoring , sensing , and other low power applications . The AdaptivEnergy Joule-Thief piezoelectric-based module is powered by RLP ® Technology coupled with Energy Key ™ circuitry. The Joule-Thief produces more power output through its stress-engineered 50 Hz to 120 Hz RLP Smart Energy Beam ™ than any other energy harvesting technology available. This compact energy harvester from AdaptivEnergy contains highly efficient proprietary circuitry, energy collection and storage electronics, and a 2-wire interface all within in a 2.22" (56.5mm) x 1.38" (35.0mm) x 0.65" (16.5mm) package.




The AdaptivEnergy Random Vibration Joule-Thief module converts ambient mechanical energy , such as vibration and impact events , into a standard DC voltage output . The AdaptivEnergy JTRA-e5mini Random Vibration Joule-Thief is an ideal solution for self-sustaining low power microelectronics , such as wireless sensing and active RFID . The Random Vibration JTRA-e5mini Joule-Thief module integrates highly efficient Energy Key electronics, providing designers with a very compact energy harvester with 2-wire interface. This AdaptivEnergy device includes RLP Smart Energy Beam configured for energy collection from low amplitude random vibration environments and also features onboard 66µF capacitive storage.
