Harvesting Green Energy, Risking Marine Harmony: The Debate Over Massachusetts Offshore Wind Turbines

By: Sarah McLaughlin In the United States, wind turbines are becoming an increasingly popular method in which wind is utilized in combination with turbines, generators, and wires to create useable electricity.  Due to dramatic natural changes in air pressure between the ocean and shore, thus producing strong winds, the government and private wind power companies… Read More Harvesting Green Energy, Risking Marine Harmony: The Debate Over Massachusetts Offshore Wind Turbines

Energy Harvesting: Capturing Ambient Energy to Fuel Wireless Devices May Raise IP and Property Questions

POSTED BY Rebecca Ferrante Energy harvesting involves the collection of low grade ambient energy from the environment and converting it into usable electrical energy that can power wireless electronic devices.  The energy is sourced from radio frequency waves, environmental radiation, thermal gradients and light or vibration in the environment. As the world’s consumption of fuel… Read More Energy Harvesting: Capturing Ambient Energy to Fuel Wireless Devices May Raise IP and Property Questions
