1. Sustainability Problem

Energy: Global energy demand is at an unsustainable rate. At this rate, the world will lock itself in an insecure, inefficient, and high-carbon energy system. Thus, innovations are needed to produce energy without consumption of non-renewable energy source. Free volt technology can be a solution to such a problem.

2. Technology

Article: Charging gadgets using THIN AIR: Freevolt captures radio waves to wirelessly power small devices

By Victoria Woollaston

• Freevolt transforms energy in signals from TV, Wi-Fi and mobile networks into a current that can be harvested by devices
• The harvester is capable of absorbing energy from multiple RF bands at almost any orientation
• The design is scalable and can be used with wearables, sensors, or fitted into large-scale buildings

3. Organizational Stakeholders

• Drayson Technologies
• Imperial College London
• General Public
• Investors

4. Implementation

• Lord Paul Drayson from Drayson Technologies developed Freevolt with support from Imperial College London
• Drayson Technologies will license out Freevolt for big partners and a Freevolt developer kit for do-it-yourself customers
• The first device that will make use of Freevolt technology was already launch in November 2015
