inDOOR Energy Harvester

The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a low cost, low profile mechanism that converts rotational kinetic energy from opening and closing a door to usable electricity.

It contains a circuit to store this electricity, measure what is produced and dynamically graph and monitor its progress from a website.
The stored electricity can then be used for any of the buildings off grid needs, such as emergency sign-age, cameras or lighting.

The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a part of the unconscious power plant project, which seeks to bring awareness to the potential for energy generation and usage as a part of daily routine.

If we start looking at doors as a source to contribute a small slice of the energy we consume everyday, then eventually the rest of our actions and environment becomes possible too.
