Draw the maximum amount of energy from the show-floor environment through energy harvesting

The challenge

Harvest usable energy from the show floor environment — RF emissions, light, vibration, or thermal gradients — and power a working embedded system.

The system must store harvested energy and sustain meaningful operation without relying on conventional battery power during the challenge window.

How to win the challenge

• Highest harvested energy measured
• Longest sustained runtime
• Smallest storage buffer required
• Stable operation under fluctuating input

Bonus: Fully batteryless continuous demo.
