Description
Objectives
- To develop a high-temperature (400-500C) energy harvesting technology that can power remotely-located, wireless sensors within a turbine engine.
Benefits
- Development of this technology will enable an indefinite power source, elminating the need to replace or recharge batteries for embedded/inaccessible sensors.
Goals
- A compact (few cubic centimeter) electromagnetic power transfer system is proposed to continuously supply 1-500 mW of power within an operational turbine engine.
