Hi,
I am about to harvest a tiny amount of energy from a peltier device or mini hydraulic generator (I am predicting to be around 10mW) and I am planning to wirelessly transfer this energy to another point (to the receiving end about 1 cm away) but I cannot transfer the power with wires. It should be wireless! I was just wondering if this is even feasible, given the small amount of energy and power that I am trying to transfer? any suggestion how can I go about this only using off-the-shelf product?
I was personally thinking of maybe using LTC3108 (Ultralow Voltage Step-Up Converter and Power Manager)(http://www.linear.com/product/LTC3108) to step up my the voltage and just use some sort of induction energy transfer. But I need the transmitting part (the power generator , resonant circuit, coils and etc to be as small as possible [something like 2cm by 2cm by 4cm]). Any better idea? I have heard of radio frequency (RF) power transfer (used in a few implantable medical components: [http://media.sjm.com/newsroom/media...CardioMEMS-Technology-Fact-Sheet/default.aspx ]) as well but I dont anything about it.
thanks in advance
