What are some of the emerging applications which are utilizing energy harvesting technology? Tire pressure monitoring is an obvious place where harvestable energy exists, since replacement of a battery is costly and power cords are not feasible. The rumored cost of replacing the tire pressure sensors on a popular luxury car is about $400. Imagine the cost savings in this case if the batteries in the tire pressure sensor did not need replacing for the life of the car.
