Smart Tyre Won The OE-A Best Publicly Funded Project
JOANNEUM RESEARCH MATERIALS is pleased to announce that our "Smart Tyre" won at LOPEC the "Best Publicly Funded Project Demonstrator" award. A quick glance at your mobile phone or bike computer and you have up-to-date information about your tyre pressure right in front of you. This is not a dream of the future, the EU project SYMPHONY - coordinated by JOANNEUM RESEARCH - is making it possible. This is important, for example, for the energy efficiency of e-bikes and safety when mountain biking.
H2020 Project Symphony (smart Hybrid Multimodal Printed Harvesting of Energy)
H2020 SYMPHONY project develops an innovative energy autonomous sensor system. The energy supply in this system is made of printed, recyclable, and non-toxic materials including the ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE), printable Si-based rectifiers, redox polymer batteries and cellulose-based supercapacitors. The SYMPHONY project develops cost effective and scalable methods to print these materials on flexible films and to combine them with energy efficient electronics and sensor technologies. The SYMPHONY project demonstrates the application of the self-powered sensors for room occupancy detection in smart floors, for condition monitoring on rotor-blades of wind turbines and for pressure monitoring in bicycle tubes.
