Guardian Angels FET Flagship, EU
Zero Power Systems
The Guardian Angels systems will gather energy wherever it can be found, in the environment surrounding us. The goal of this “zero power” approach is to provide complete autonomy by integrating the most recent technology; light, vibrations and thermal gradients can be used to power electronic circuits.
Finally, Guardian Angels will incorporate the latest energy storage technologies
(such as green batteries), for situations in which energy is just not available.
