Drayson Technologies, founded in 2013 by Lord Paul Drayson, is a UK-based technology company that has developed a proprietary energy harvesting solution known as Freevolt. Lord Drayson, a former Minister of State for Science and Innovation, established the company with the vision of creating a more sustainable and connected world by recycling ambient radio frequency (RF) energy that is currently wasted. This background in science and public policy provides a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and environmental impact.
The company's core business revolves around its Freevolt technology, which captures and converts ambient RF energy from broadcast and wireless networks (such as 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi) into usable direct current (DC) electricity. This enables the powering of low-energy electronic devices without the need for traditional batteries or wired power sources. Drayson Technologies operates in the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart sensor market, targeting clients in sectors like smart cities, transportation, logistics, and industrial IoT. Its business model appears to be centered on licensing its technology and partnering with other companies to integrate Freevolt into their products.
The primary product is the Freevolt harvester, an antenna and power management system that efficiently converts RF energy. A key benefit of this system is its ability to perpetually power or extend the battery life of devices like sensors, beacons, and smart cards, thereby reducing maintenance costs and the environmental waste associated with battery disposal. A significant milestone was the launch of the CleanSpace Tag, a personal air pollution sensor powered by Freevolt, which was part of a project to create a crowdsourced map of air quality across London. This initiative demonstrated a practical application of the technology by creating self-powered devices for large-scale environmental monitoring.
