WePower CEO Larry Richenstein explains the company's energy-harvesting technology, embodied in its Gemns energy-harvesting generators (EHGs). The generators leverage permanent magnets for field shaping and concentration to produce higher energy outputs through electromagnetic induction. Gemns EHGs are small modules that are designed into IoT devices to permanently replace the need for batteries in sensors and associated devices. The protocol-agnostic devices can communicate via wireless standards such as Bluetooth, LoRA, ISM, Z-Wave, Matter, and Thread.
