View story 1 0 ‘Energy scavenging’ the next big thing http://www.extendlimits.nl/index.php/2008/10/26/energy-scave... Submitted by transfuture 13 months, 1 week, 2 days, 23 hours ago Jack Ganssle, chief engineer of The Ganssle Group, sees energy scavenging as a replacement for batteries in mobile devices in the future. In an interview with ZDNet Jack states that in India there is a great need for mobile devices but power is scarce. India is creating its own embedded systems industry due to the availability of highly skilled engineering talent. Jack thinks India and China are going to be the engines of growth for this industry due to the strength of their domestic market. The microprocessors are able to sniff energy from the environment. It could be anything ranging from energy radiated by power lines, heat in the coffee cup or the human body.
