Not a battery or a supercap, but a ‘thin laminate energy device’
Murata’s UMAL is a low-profile high capacity energy device. Designed to meet the demand for a slim high capacity energy source with a maintenance-free extended life cycle in wireless sensor nodes, the UMAL has charge/discharge and life-cycle characteristics superior to conventional...

Maximize the Energy from Long-Life Batteries
by digikey.com: Battery lifetime is a key consideration for the development of the wireless sensor nodes that will populate the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In many applications, the sensor nodes will need to be installed in locations that are difficult to reach let alone...

ESP8266 mains energy monitor
Brian Dorey has designed a mains energy monitor based on ESP8266 that have sensors for the mains current, electric meter and gas meter. As the new solar logger did not have this functionality we decided to design a new data-logger that would measure not only the mains current usage...

Nixie Tube Energy Meter
John Whittington decided to build a Nixie tube energy meter to measure his house power consumption. An Arduino would be the microcontroller but I wanted the meter to provide some form of data stream for a web based energy history. To make it an IoT, I a paired ESP8266 with it. I...

Not a battery, not a cap: Murata’s small energy [storage] device
by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: To meet what the company sees as a gap in the available range of energy storage solutions, Murata has developed the UMAC, a small, high-capacity cylinder-type energy device for use in wearable and wireless sensor applications. Although lithium-ion...

Energy Wristband monitors energy usage on home
by Matt Venn: A wristband that tells you energy changes in your home. It connects via a Raspberry Pi computer to a base station like a 'current cost' or similar. When a change in energy usage occurs, the wristband vibrates and a small LED bargraph shows your current usage from 1 to...
