Power harvested from movement

A piezoelectric platform in development that turns motion, pressure, and vibration into stored electrical energy — so a device can run without a battery to change.

Why battery-free changes the product

A wearable sensor is only as useful as its charge. Batteries add bulk, add a charging ritual, and eventually become the reason a product is thrown away.

This platform harvests the energy already present in everyday motion and stores it on board — removing the battery from the design rather than shrinking it.

Turn ambient motion into usable power

  • Captures everyday movement

    Converts mechanical energy from footsteps, motion, and vibration into clean electrical energy.

  • Stores it on board

    Charges a capacitor to store energy and deliver power to low-power electronics on demand.

  • Engineered materials

    Advanced piezoelectric composites engineered for high charge output, durability, and design flexibility.

  • Nothing to recharge

    Reduces mass, bulk, and environmental waste by eliminating or minimizing the need for batteries.

  • Powers low-power electronics

    Designed to power sensors, LEDs, microcontrollers, and other low-power electronics in wearable and IoT devices.

  • Ready for deployment

    Targets real-world applications like smart insoles, wearables, and industrial sensors where energy is everywhere.

Where the energy goes

Smart insoles

Smart insoles

The initial demonstrator — energy captured from each step and stored in the insole.

Field-worn devices

Field-worn devices

Low-power devices that stay live without a charging cycle in the loop.

Industrial and IoT sensors

Industrial and IoT sensors

Sensors on machines and assets, powered by the vibration already around them.

Self-powered sensing, across form factors

Our initial demonstrator targets smart insoles and wearables, but the architecture is not specific to either.

The same approach reaches healthcare patches, industrial sensors, smart textiles, and asset tracking.

A proprietary ~1 cm² ASIC is in development as the platform's integration target for self-powered smart insoles and other wearables.

It integrates an IMU, Bluetooth Low Energy, and energy-harvesting power management onto a single chip.

The energy platform is in development

Our initial demonstrator targets smart insoles and wearables. Programs are scoped against the power budget and the form factor you need to hit.

  • How it is described technically

    MyantX is developing a piezoelectric energy generating platform that converts ambient mechanical energy such as movement, pressure, and vibration into usable electrical energy. Our materials and device architecture are designed to efficiently harvest energy from everyday motions and store it in a rechargeable capacitor to power low-power electronics, eliminating the need for conventional batteries.

    This platform enables self-powered wearable devices, sensors, and IoT systems with a lower environmental footprint and greater design freedom.
