Although our product – the “energy harvester” – is only used for illustration purposes, it is well chosen because building it, […]

As we want to give a true account of how it evolves into a working product, expect some mis-information, wrong conclusions […]

Bugger if it already exists! As this is for demonstration purposes only, we don’t care. We appreciate the free […]
