Kyocera and Nagasaki University Develop “Energy Harvesting Smart Buoy” to Collect Ocean Data
Nagasaki University (President: Shigeru Kohno) and Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) announced their joint development of an Energy Harvesting Smart Buoy, which combines Nagasaki University's tidal current power generation technology with Kyocera's IoT technology to collect reliable ocean data.
- Nagasaki University (President: Shigeru Kohno) and Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) announced their joint development of an Energy Harvesting Smart Buoy, which combines Nagasaki University's tidal current power generation technology with Kyocera's IoT technology to collect reliable ocean data.
- Prototype buoys can collect a wide range of data on the marine environment using self-generated energy.
- Therefore, Nagasaki University and Kyocera developed the "Energy Harvesting Smart Buoy," which generates its own electric power for continuous ocean data collection using a tidal-current power generation system in the buoy.
- The new Smart Buoy combines tidal-current power generation technology from Nagasaki University and IoT-related technology from Kyocera.
