  An Overview on Energy Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Material for Wi-Fi Systems

  By Heena T. Shaikh, IR. Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

  Abstract: The rapid proliferation of wireless-networked devices has intensified the demand for sustainable, maintenance-free power sources that can keep small-scale Wi-Fi modules operational in hard-to-reach or infrastructure-limited environments. This study investigates the feasibility of harvesting ambient mechanical energy using piezoelectric transduction technology and directly feeding the harvested power to a low-power Wi-Fi communication subsystem. A compact energy-harvesting module was engineered from lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) cantilevers with resonant frequencies tuned to the dominant …

  The Future of Farming with IoT-Operated Drones

  By Heena T. Shaikh, Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat*

  Abstract: The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with drone systems has revolutionized precision agriculture, offering innovative solutions to address the inefficiencies and environmental concerns linked to conventional pesticide application. This study explores the design, implementation, and impact of IoT-operated drones tailored for automated pesticide spraying. By leveraging real-time sensor data, AI-driven analytics, and cloud-based connectivity, these drones enable dynamic, data-informed decisions to optimize chemical application. Results indicate that IoT-enabled …
