Industrial motors continuously reject energy as heat. Under the right conditions, a small part of that heat can power the sensor used to monitor the motor itself. This does not mean unlimited energy or zero engineering effort. It means designing an embedded node that measures, processes and transmits only when the available energy can support a complete operating cycle. The idea is appealing in industrial IoT monitoring, where wiring every senso…
