An energy harvesting device for powering electronic devices such as wireless sensors and IoT devices is described. The device relies on nature's fundamental forces to convert kinetic energy to electrical energy, acting as power source; while accounting for the Casimir force. Nanotechnology and MEMS are used to fabricate the device embedding a mechanical oscillator, electronic circuitry, energy harvester, and transducer integrated in the same packaging. The device supports mechanism to excite and ignite the oscillatory behavior via RF signal from a remote signal source that synthesizes the RF signal on a fix or mobile platform. Additionally, solar and RF signals may be added constructively to boost the output power of the device. The device scales from micron size to blades and racks formed from arrays of the connected devices to increase the output power of the aggregate system to any desired level for powering home appliances or computer networks.

A photovoltaic renewable energy system utilizes a light source and one or more reflectors to produce power via photovoltaic cells. An exemplary photovoltaic renewable energy system utilizes a light source, such as Light Emitting Diodes (LED), to provide light to photovoltaic cells that therein produce electrical power. The photovoltaic cells may be arranged in a photovoltaic array to ensure maximum power conversion from the incident light. A reflector, such as a prism may be used to direct light from the light source onto the photovoltaic cells. A cell reflector, which may also be a prism, may be configured proximal to the photovoltaic cell surfaces to reflect light onto the photovoltaic surface to increase power conversion.

A circuit for generating electrical energy is disclosed. The circuit uses a pulse generator in combination with a tube having a cavity therein. The tube can have material therein, such as solid material or fluid passing therethrough. A thyristor or other negative resistance is in series with the tube to increase a change of voltage with respect to time. A resultant energy applied to a load is larger than the energy supplied by the pulse generator due to the absorption of external energy by the tube.

Described herein are devices incorporating Casimir cavities, which modify the quantum vacuum mode distribution within the cavities. The Casimir cavities can drive charge carriers from or to an electronic device disposed adjacent to or contiguous with the Casimir cavity by modifying the quantum vacuum mode distribution incident on one side of the electronic device to be different from the quantum vacuum mode distribution incident on the other side of the electronic device. The electronic device can exhibit a structure that permits transport or capture of hot carriers in very short time intervals, such as in 1 picosecond or less.
