Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: at least one energy harvesting module (H-module), wherein each H-module of the at least one H-module has an H form factor, wherein each H-module of the at least one H-module is configured to harvest energy from one or more energy sources; and at least one energy storage module (S-module), wherein each S-module of the at least one S-module has an S form factor, wherein each S-module of the at least one S-module is configured to store energy, wherein each H-module of the at least one H-module is configured to electrically interconnect with one or more of the at least one S-module such that when the each H-module of the at least one H-module is electrically interconnected to one or more S-modules of the at least one S-module the one or more of the at least one S-module electrically interconnected to the each H-module of the at least one H-module receives and stores the energy harvested by the each H-module of the at least one H-module, wherein each H-module of the at least one H-module is configured to mechanically interconnect with each S-module of the at least one S-module such that when the each H-module of the at least one H-module is mechanically interconnected to the each S-module of the at least one S-module, the mechanical interconnection of the each H-module of the at least one H-module and the each S-module of the at least one S-module forms a H-S module combination such that the H-S module combination has an H-S form factor that is a combination of the H form factor and the S form factor, wherein a first H-module of the at least one H-module is electrically interconnected with a first S-module of the at least one S-module, wherein the first H-module is mechanically interconnected with the first S-module to form a first H-S module combination having the H-S form factor.
