Alps Alpine energy harvester
Have you ever wanted to receive a notification on your smartphone when you received a package or wanted to know where the closest available restroom is when you are out and about?
Alps Alpine has introduced the SPGA Series, a power supply and battery-free power generation device that can solve these problems.
SPGA Series Features
Utilizing the know-how of mechatronics technology cultivated over many years, we have attained miniaturization with ample power generation.
Electricity can be generated with minimal push pressure due to the comfortable operation feel unique to Alps Alpine, known for providing the remedy for various needs. A long operation life-cycle of more than 1 million uses makes it ideal for installation in places where it is difficult to replace batteries and for equipment with multiple operations.
Power generation principle of the SPGA series
An electromagnetic induction system that generates electricity with each push and release.
When the lever is engaged, the magnet rotates and the magnetic flux changes generating an electromotive force in the coil.
Similar power is generated when the lever is released.
