Design of an energy capture system

Abstract

An investigation by the Cooperative University of Colombia [1], related to the location of telecommunications antennas in a city in Colombia is analyzed. In the same way, important elements such as radio frequency (RF) waves are present, emitted by different devices located in different communes. Then there is the possibility of designing a system that allows the collection of energy according to the radio frequency (RF) waves emitted from a city in Colombia, the above is known as energy harvesting, which basically allows a process to be carried out. capturing small amounts of energy supplied by natural sources such as light, heat and vibrations.

The energy harvesting system takes advantage of the lost energies of the different electronic devices, to then capture electromagnetic waves through an antenna that collects the direct current, and in this way to be able to wirelessly charge low-power devices. With the design of the system, we proceed to verify the amount of easily acquired electronic elements, verify how much energy can be captured and determine the capacity to power small devices essential in different activities.
