RF energy-harvesting kit runs wireless sensor

The Lifetime Power Energy Harvesting Development Kit for Wireless Sensors features eXtreme Low Power PIC MCUs and a transmitter that can wirelessly power sensor devices from more than 40 ft away. The kit has a 3-W Powercaster transmitter as the power source, two P2110 Powerharvester receiver evaluation boards, two wireless sensor boards, and an XLP 16-bit development board with application software and a IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver.

The kit makes it easy to demonstrate and develop smart-energy, wireless-sensor applications that are reliably and perpetually powered by radio waves, eliminating the need for a battery. ($1,250 — available now.)
