The Harvest case is able to stretch your battery life by nearly a third. Nikola Labswill Zell explains in the video below how the phone case is able to turn radio waves into electricity.
They can use solar power or harvest energy from a beam of light. The patent does not mention batteries so these contacts have to constantly generate power.
But each GENESI node and sensor includes a miniature wind turbine that harvests energy from passing trains.
Using the technique, the farm yields both fishes and plants for harvest. Vertical farming takes its name from growing plants on top of each other, often on tall racks indoors.
