Amylen
Generating clean power from ambient humidity
Batteries require costly maintenance and pollute, leaving defense, medical, and logistics devices stranded wherever humidity and energy meet.
AMYLEN harnesses animal proteins to generate clean electricity from ambient humidity, as a maintenance-free power source for low-power devices.
AMYLEN’s hydrovoltaic technology turns ambient humidity into electricity, giving the billions of sensors of tomorrow a local, sustainable and maintenance-free power source.
