Research abstract
PRLC proposes the development of a miniature wireless flow sensor that harvests all the electrical power required to operate from its environment. The device will use a fluidic oscillator to actuate piezoelectric cantilever beams to generate power and measure flow velocity through its frequency of oscillation. A highly efficient single chip ultra wide band (UWB) radio will be incorporated to transmit flow velocity with minimal required energy. The technology promises to be low cost, highly compact, and able to multiplex hundreds of sensors.
