Recently at the Green Tech Hackathon in Amsterdam, I had a chance to develop the instructions for DIY batteryless electronics — here’s a link!

Best wishes from Canada!

Can we make electronics more sustainable, with lower impact to the ecology? One way is to design them differently, more like batteryless solar calculators or Citizen eco-drive watches, which never wear out. In this space I invite a sharing of DIY projects which apply this energy harvesting strategy toward consumer electronics, a…
