At CES 2026, energy harvesting and wireless power came closer to becoming a reality. At its core, Gemns relies on forcing a magnet to spin quickly when a physical action occurs, like turning a doorknob or flipping a switch. That action generates a small amount of...

Gemns Battery-Free Leak Detector is a Turning Point for IoT Devices. The new WOEEN classification clears the path for a new generation of battery-free sensors and innovative products that take full advantage of ZWLR’s extended range and low-power capabilities. The...

We caught up with Gemns (formerly WePower) at #CES to see a quick demo of its energy harvesting technology embedded in a Southco lock. The company aims to use this technology to eventually eliminate batteries in a wide range of devices relevant to the #security and...

The floor of CES 2026 is buzzing with the future of consumer technology, but one of the most significant innovations is also one of the most discreet. WePower Technologies, an innovator in energy-harvesting IoT solutions, and Focus SB Ltd, a premium UK manufacturer of...

For years, Lawrence “Larry” Richenstein observed a growing problem: as more devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the reliance on batteries for countless sensors and transmitters was becoming a major bottleneck—leading to maintenance overhead, limited...

In this episode of the Mr. Beacon Podcast, we talk with Lawrence Richenstein, Founder and CEO of WePower Technologies, about how kinetic energy harvesting is powering the next wave of battery-free IoT devices. Lawrence shares WePower’s journey from startup rescue to...

A change in seasons can bring unpredictable weather — and with it, leaks that appear when you least expect them. Most leak detectors rely on batteries meaning ongoing maintenance, environmental concerns and the risk of failure at the very moment a leak occurs.

WePower has developed their patented Gemns energy harvesting solutions for wireless data transmitter applications in IoT devices for industrial, automotive, smart home, smart buildings, and aerospace applications. WePower’s mission is to “engineer reliable, scalable,...

A novel method for generating power could eliminate the need for batteries in small devices. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is growing, with billions of connected sensors and data transmitters coming online over the next decade. This will require...

WePower Technologies attracts massive interest at CES 2025 from major companies across multiple industries seeking alternative power integration into new IoT devices. And is one of The 20 Best Things Seen at CES Lighting companies, security firms even elevator...
