Innowattech: Harvesting Energy and Data A stand alone technology
Dr. Lucy Edery-Azulay, CEO
Innowattech’s technology
Innowattech’s technology and patent principles: Efficiently converting external mechanical load into green electrical energy, based on piezoelectric elements Green energy - the electrical energy is producing based on the part of the mechanical energy that usually is wasted in heat form The conversion is based on the compressed piezo-mechanical effect.

Innowattech’s applications Energy and Data – Roadway & Railway
Alternative green electrical energy – Continual projects –
Innowattech’s system can be establishment along the lane/rail length Connection to the local grid Impressive short time for return of investment (ROI)
Local projects
Establishment only few generators The electricity can be used for battery charging The advantages of the Innowattech local solution is marked when compared with other alternative energy solutions like solar
I-WIM (Weigh In Motion) sensor
The weight of various types of vehicles while being in motion. Stand alone technology

Innowattech’s applications Energy and Data – estimated potential values
Roads application: From 1kilometre lane of road - 200KWh/h Based on: Generators are embedded along two wheel’s footprints, about 600 heavy vehicles per hour, travelling at a speed of 72 km per hour on average. Railways applications: From 1kilometre rail - 120KWh/h Based on: two generators are inserted in every sleeper, an average railway movement of 300 loaded wagons per hour I-WIM...
