Company Profile (Perpetuum)

Perpetuum leads the world in vibration energy-harvesting. It developed the world's first truly practical vibration harvesting microgenerator capable of generating enough power to enable the reliable transmission of large amounts of data.
The company has established itself as the global leader, specialising in the production of highly efficient microgenerators that optimise the operation and availability of plant and equipment, and improve cost-efficiency of maintenance work.
Perpetuum was set up in 2004 as a VC-backed spin out from Southampton University, where the concept for the technology originated.
