Developer projects underway by Open Source M1-Class Developers:
Cell phone always-charged systems for remote villages.
Remote hospital back-up power systems.
Micro-mesh communications relay antenna power for emergency areas.
Home under-the-carpet, under-the-bed, in-the-attic; large interconnected arrays for home device charging.
Vehicle cooling fan always-on power.
A number of developers have contests to best stored vs. real-time energy use for Meshtenna arrays. While it is no problem to power many devices from the energy stored by the system in the USB battery bus, the greater challenge is to engineer scales-of-efficiency improvement which allow the direct energy flow from Meshtenna systems to power a real-time device. Students with physics calculation software at Universities show that the physics are possible and the the challenge involves clever engineering.

An associated group at the University of Washington, is focused on ambient backscatter and how it could potentially create networks of devices and sensors that
can transmit information by reflecting existing signals to exchange information, without the need for internal batteries. “We can repurpose wireless signals that are already around us into both a source of power and a communication medium,” lead researcher Shyam Gollakota, a UW assistant professor of computer science and engineering, said in a press release. “It’s hopefully going to have applications in a number of areas including wearable computing, smart homes and self-sustaining sensor networks.” Researchers built small, credit card-sized devices equipped with antennas that detect, harness and reflect those signals to similar devices. The team tested the prototypes in various locations around the Seattle area, including a street corner, inside an apartment building and on top of a parking garage. Locations ranged from less than a half a mile away from a TV tower to about 6.5. miles away. receiving devices picked up a signal at a rate of 1 kilobit per second when 2.5 feet
away from their outdoor counterparts and 1.5 feet apart when inside. That’s enough to transmit a text message, sensor reading and contact information.
It can ship in a UPS or postal service compliant box that you can carry with one hand.
While there are other models and designs for different markets, the initial device is designed for USB powered mobile devices.
With increasing solar explosions and radiation bursts, the expanding layers of the Van Allen Radiation belt and the geometrically increasing presence of ambient back-scatter radiation from media and data broadcast systems along with the daily bombarding of the Earth by hundreds of different types of galactic radiation sources, there is now a dramatic opportunity to capture a new energy potential that offers nearly unlimited free electricity. For remote villages, persons-in-transit and disaster zones, this solution can provide great potential. To simply save money in highly developed areas, this can also be a great solution.
12"x12" flexible Meshtenna's are proposed as the open-source standard. These 12" units can interconnect to each other on any side and on the top and bottom to add more energy acquisition as space allows. They can be shipped flat or in a tube.
The 12"x12" panels have layers that are sensitive to different types of ambient, back-scatter and flow-through energies.
The panels connect to portable battery packs which are already available in volume production. There are at least two battery packs with each system. One battery pack is always trickle charging and the other battery pack is being used locally, or transported to power, or charge, devices.
You can share energy with your neighbors with low voltage, safe DC wire, by swapping battery packs, by storing energy in a common neighborhood battery pack or by wireless sharing energy via special directionalized broadcast MeshTenna's.
While Schottky diode grids are known to harvest ambient energy as well as help broadcast it, a whole new class of electronics and nano-manufacturing have provided new layer potentials to reach many, many more frequencies and energy types.
The 12"x12" panels, energy circuits and USB battery packs are known as the "M1 Series". This is the main project that our open source developers are working on globally.
Once you have begun work on a M1-class project, please notify us so we can keep you in the information loop. Please send in add supplier sourcing information and findings for project posting in order to help other developers.
The heliosphere protects the planets of our system from some solar and galactic radiation but enough energy radiation gets through to the Earth to cause a constant state of background energy to exist in all locations. Additionally, the vast deployment of motors, cell phone towers, cell phones, wifi, radio towers, TV towers, EMF producing devices and other emission equipment has provided a vast set of energy harvesting opportunities. The parts that make-up solar and galactic cosmic rays include protons (85 to 95 percent), helium ions (five to 14 percent), and high-energy heavy ions.
Cosmic radiation can penetrate most existing structures as if they were not there. This invention provides mesh panels comprised of arrays which harvest this background energy and, while not required to operate, also can, as an option, share it with neighboring systems. Carbon ions, oxygen ions and other types of energy can be harvested for power. When the full spectrum of background particle radiation is included, over an extended period, the power capture from all of these options is enough to trickle-charge a battery storage device. Our MeshTenna panels can fold or roll up. They can be connected together to provide greater power. Each Meshtenna has connection points to add more panels on all sides. Those attachment points can also receive an coupling adapter so that panels can be added one-above-the-other as well as on all sides. The more panel surface area you have, the greater the energy draw. They can be laid under a carpet, in an attic, under a couch, between mattress layers, within the wall or roof structure, embedded in clothing or otherwise incorporated into existing objects. The system consists of one or more Meshtenna’s and a powerpack with multiple battery storage systems. The battery storage system has multiple storage packs so that one can always be trickle charging and one can always be out in use charging or powering a device or devices.
Even if ambient space and terrestrial background radiation is not enough to immediately power a light or device, in some cases it may be, depending on the environment, you can still charge and store up the energy for useful purposes.
According to Science Daily, with the reduction in the Earth’s protective shields we are now all subject to penetrating cosmic rays. We are hit by showers of secondary particles – including electrons, anti-electrons (called positrons), and muons, which are like heavy electrons.
Meshtricity is a hardware/software application connecting users through mesh power networking without the need for infrastructure build-outs. We have designed, patented and tested our solution in the marketplace. The first product is a USB device charger for phones, cameras, lights and mobile electronics. The application enables the following benefits:
Devices work together to form a robust mesh energy network, extending or replacing plugs
Immediate emergency and mobile power
Massive savings in infrastructure costs
Existing areas can expand and enhance their service rapidly speed and with huge cost savings versus building additional infrastructure
Communities spend tens of billions of dollars on infrastructure every year ($180+ billion in the US in 2012, per Forbes), but still have problems delivering high quality, always available, efficient service. Rapidly increasing power demand is straining existing networks, increasing network failure rates. Expansion is difficult and expensive, as infrastructure expansion faces cost, resources and time issues.
Consumer concerns with disaster recovery issues are increasing, as weather change has increased disaster effect metrics. More consumers also have mobile devices and have a harder time finder charging opportunities for those devices.
A additional directional antenna would allow you to share energy with your neighbors and you could swap your standardized powerpacks with users in transit, on commute buses and trains or otherwise.
A computer and mobile device application would be available that would allow you to transact and plan energy sharing with your neighbors. It would tell you who has energy or powerpacks, nearby that you could transact with.
Meshtricity (tm) uses very simple hardware and a simple App, to charge your devices in most parts of the world even if you do not have an electrical outlet available.
Our proprietary MeshTenna™ and our MeshPacks™ work together to process the energy solution.
One is able to share this energy solution with neighbors, or strangers in transit, on nano-grids, micro-grids and mega-grids. You can give your portion of the energy away or transact it.
Neighbors can be up to 1/2 a mile apart.
With this technology, stand-by energy is almost always available for emergencies. The technology charges and distributes 24/7, day and night. One can enhance the solution with solar, wind, fuel cell, geo-thermal, etc. but none of these are required for the technology to maintain operation.
The MeshTenna is a layered grid antenna where each layer is sensitive to different forms of energy acquisition. When Meshtenna's are interconnected and placed under a rug, in an attic or in a basement they are able to charge cell phones, power lights and charge batteries. One layer of the Meshtenna uses a Schottky diode grid for energy harvesting with an incremental support circuit such as (generalized example): In the above suggested reference design the coil consists of a standard ferrite toroid core with two windings of 20 turns each using 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) diameter wire (38 swg) (34-35 AWG). The circuit can utilize an input voltage down to about 0.35 V and can run for weeks using a 1.5 V LR6/AA. The battery voltage is usually 1.5 V. The resistor is ~1 kΩ, 1/4 W. The transistor could be a BC547B, 2SC2500, BC337, PN2222, 2N4401 or other NPN. Vceo = 30 V, P = 0.625 W. A diode with Vf = 3.2 V might be used.
Another option for a constant-load amplification circuit might be this generalized example:
The circuit works by rapidly switching the transistor. Initially, current enters the transistor base terminal (through the resistor and secondary winding), causing it to begin conducting collector current through the primary winding. This induces a voltage in the secondary winding (positive, because of the winding polarity, see dot convention) which turns the transistor on harder. This self-stoking/positive-feedback process almost instantly turns the transistor on as hard as possible (putting it in the saturation region), making the collector-emitter path look like essentially a closed switch (since VCE will be only about 0.1 volts, assuming that the base current is high enough). With the primary winding effectively across the battery, the current increases at a rate proportional to the supply voltage divided by the inductance. Switch-off of the transistor takes place by different mechanisms dependent upon supply voltage.
The predominant mode of operation relies on the non-linearity of the inductor (this does not apply to air core coils). As the current ramps up it reaches a point, dependent upon the material and geometry of the core, where the ferrite saturates (the core may be made of material other than ferrite). The resulting magnetic field stops increasing and the current in the secondary winding is lost, depriving the transistor of base drive and the transistor starts to turn off. The magnetic field starts to collapse, driving current in the coil into the light emitting diode (raising the voltage until conduction occurs) and the reducing magnetic field induces a reverse current in the secondary, turning the transistor hard off.
At lower supply voltages a different mode of operation takes over: The gain of a transistor is not linear with VCE. At low supply voltages (typically 0.75v and below) the transistor requires a larger base current to maintain saturation as the collector current increases. Hence, when it reaches a critical collector current, the base drive available becomes insufficient and the ransistor starts to pinch off and the previously described positive feedback action occurs turning it hard off.
To summarize, once the current in the coils stops increasing for any reason, the transistor goes into the cutoff region (and opens the collector-emitter "switch"). The magnetic field collapses, inducing however much voltage is necessary to make the load conduct, or for the secondary-winding current to find some other path.
When the field is back to zero, the whole sequence repeats; with the battery ramping-up the primary-winding current until the transistor switches on.
If the load on the circuit is very small the rate of rise and ultimate voltage at the collector is limited only by stray capacitances, and may rise to more than 100 times the supply voltage. For this reason, it is imperative that a load is always connected so that the transistor is not damaged. Note that, because VCE is mirrored back to the secondary, failure of the transistor due to a small load will occur through the reverse VBE limit for the transistor being exceeded (this occurs at a much lower value than VCEmax).
The transistor dissipates very little energy, even at high oscillating frequencies, because it spends most of its time in the fully on or fully off state, thus minimizing the switching losses.
The switching frequency in the example circuit opposite is about 50 kHz. A simple shunt-regulator for loads requiring a constant voltage When a more constant output voltage is desired, a voltage regulator can be added to the output of the first schematic. In this example of a simple shunt-regulator, a blocking diode ("D_rect") allows the secondary winding to charge a filter capacitor ("C_filter") but prevents the transistor from discharging the capacitor. A Zener diode ("Z1") is used to limit the maximum output voltage. A charging circuit and battery management circuit as then added to constantly charge the power packs
The technology uses a combination of passive and active harvesting hybridized with optimization and relay methodologies. The basic system costs less than $200.00 in volume. Smaller, lower cost, versions and larger, broader scope systems, can be scaled from the same technology.
Our group has tested the system in major cities in America and Europe. No new infrastructure build-out is required. Additional features include:
Intelligently self-tunes as demand grows; gets better the more it is tasked
Third party and regulatory compliant
No Overhead
Secure
Enables an instant emergency network without the costs of infrastructure
Q&A:
Q. If there are all these radiation panels all over my house and car and under my rugs, won't I mutate?
A. The Meshtenna's are not sending out radiation, they are picking up energy/radiation that is already there. To send energy to your neighbors you can choose to use wires or specially directed antennas that must be placed where the focused beam cannot interact with active biology. The technology does not attract, draw, bring or cause any extra energy or radiation to impact your body.
Q. So does this system take bad energy and make it into good energy?
A. That is a matter of opinion. Radiation that strikes the ends of your DNA strands cause bad things to happen. If you can capture as much ambient radiation energy as possible and use it in a controlled manner so it is flying around and hitting less of our biology, that may be a good thing. Different layers of MeshTenna's capture different kinds of energy.
Q. If I live in a metal or concrete building, will this work?
A. Some ambient energy can pass through any structure. Some ambient radiation energy passes through the entire planet daily.
Q. Can I share energy with fellow passengers on planes, trains, buses and at bus stops and corner kiosks?
A. Yes. Most easily by trading "M1-System" battery packs with them but also by other means.
