Essentially, PiezoTSensor consists in an Energy Harvesting (EH) device that uses a piezoelectric bender and an appropriate customizable aerodynamic fin that takes advantage of specific air flow effects
(principally Vortex Shedding) for producing energy. The
sensor is completed with a temperature probe.

PiezoTSensor - Unique Selling Proposition
• PiezoTSensor harvests a higher amount of energy from air flow, and thus has a higher autonomy, something that can lead to a higher sampling rate.
• PiezoTSensor generates energy from an intrinsic characteristic of HVAC systems (the air flow inside the ducts), achieving an optimal integration.
• Competitors • EnOceanTM ECT 310 Perpetuum
• POWERCASTTM P1110 Powerharvester Receiver
• Distech ControlsTM SR65 AKF - Duct Temperature

PiezoTSensor - Intellectual Property Rights
The IPR strategy focused on the
obtainment of a patent:
• PiezoTSensor is a highly innovative product
and will be one of the first modular and out-
of-the-box EH devices for office automation
applications based on piezoelectric
material excited by air flow.
• StroNGER applied for a patent from the
Italian Patent Office.
