Energy harvesting - The Bigger Picture
IDTechEx now takes the view that energy harvesting as a topic should be as much about higher power uses as low power ones but limited to off-grid. The winning technologies are the same from microwatts to 10kW - electrodynamic followed by photovoltaics with thermoelectrics third but about to narrow the gap. . Here is an early simplified draft of the completely rewritten IDTechEx master report on energy harvesting

IDTechEx: Invest Now in Fuel Cell Vehicles?
There is divided opinion on future of traction fuel cells in electric vehicles, though few argue any more that they will power the majority of electric vehicles. Nonetheless some manufacturers are very enthusiastic and now could be the beginning of the end of the trough of disillusionment, indeed the time to invest.
