Portable Harvesters

Harvesters to carry along

Neighbourhood Satellites Energy Harvests is a project
by Hanspeter Kadel and Myriel Milicevic. This is a set of five different harvesters that can be carried along for the everyday energy harvesting in the city.

Neighbourhood Satellites Energy Harvests examines the practical as well as theoretical possibilities of an alternative, decentralized supply of energy.

For sound pollution - Image found on Energy Harvests' website.


Just like a reversed speaker, this harvester transforms sound into energy. Intended for loud surroundings with sirens, public speakers, alarm bells and so on.

For vibration surplus - Image found on Energy Harvests' website.


With piezos as feet, this harvester collects vibrations on buses, trams, next to construction sites or busy streets.

For waste heat - Image found on Energy Harvests' website.


This harvester turns differences in temperature into energy, such as in badly isolated buildings, freezers, heat lamps etc.
