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...

WePower Technologies has launched at CES three prototypes of energy harvesting generators, part of its Gemns EHG line, based on the mechanism of electromagnetic induction to achieve higher voltage levels compared to existing EHGs. The primary objective of these...

The generators leverage permanent magnets for field shaping and concentration to produce higher energy outputs through electromagnetic induction. Gemns EHGs are small modules that are designed into IoT devices to permanently replace the need for batteries in sensors...
