For marine sensor and sensor arrays (<20 watts)
For watt-scale power applications, the DataRAY offers fast payback through autonomous operation. The system offers substantial reduction in the total cost of ownership by avoiding expensive and time-consuming labor and vessel time for recovery/recharge/redeploy cycles. The product can carry its own payload, provide communications and data-storage functions, and be moored or free-floating.
Buoy and data-gathering system OEMs currently depend on solar, but it’s not enough power to do what they want to do. The farther you get from the equator, the less effective these solar-based systems are, sometimes requiring systems to shut down for months at a time. The watt-scale DataRAY system fits inside, or on, their device, harvesting the energy from the movement of the host and keeping a battery topped off. It’s a dry system, enabled by our understanding of how to harvest energy from the movement of the device in the water.
