“Mota” is a research project that focuses on an energy-harvesting device designed for public spaces, such as bus stops and parking garages. The device makes use of the experiential hiccups that already occur within those spaces, such as a bus coming to a stop or a car having to go over a speed bump or gate before entering a parking garage. It utilizes vibrations from the periodic motion to harvest and store energy.
The target audience for this research project is the general public. As the project focuses on an energy harvesting device designed for public spaces, such as bus stops and parking garages, the ideal audience would be the general public and could even extend to local communities. The general public would benefit from this device as it offers a unique solution and way of making use of areas where energy can be seamlessly harvested. Overall providing an accessible and sustainable way for communities and structures to generate their own energy.
Though highly speculative, I believe this prototype could set a framework for what’s to come in the future and could provide a glimpse into the potential opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead. This prototype could be the foundation upon which future technologies may be built, ushering in a new era of innovation and progress. This could lead to the creation of products, services, and solutions that could have a significant impact on how we live and work in the years to come.
