The BLAMPS principle

Turning movement into useful energy.

A simple, observable and modular conversion chain designed as a responsible micro-energy demonstration.

01

Activity

The rodent moves freely through an enriched environment.

03

Storage

The energy is regulated, measured and stored in low-voltage modules.

A hybrid system

Wheel, pressure and microgrid.

BLAMPS combines several ultra-low-power sources and makes their output visible through a central interface.

  • Dynamo wheel

    A compact rotor turns natural rotation into direct current.

  • Pressure plates

    Piezoelectric sensors capture movement through the habitat.

  • Smart management

    The controller balances generation, storage and demonstration loads.

The bio-collector cycle

Recycle, feed, set the network in motion.

People place compatible organic waste into bio-collectors. After sorting and preparation, the network distributes food at different times to naturally encourage movement between habitats.

01
Human deposit

Suitable organic leftovers are placed in the collector.

02
Sorting and recovery

The prototype isolates compatible inputs and prepares portions.

03
Synchronised distribution

Each station receives a separate schedule controlled by the network.

04
Natural movement

Alternating feeding points encourage exploration without force.

Measurable impact

A little power, a big learning opportunity.

BLAMPS does not claim to power a city. It makes energy efficiency, mechanical conversion and distributed networks tangible.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The concept, its limitations and its responsible approach.

Yes. A dynamo or piezoelectric sensor can convert movement into electricity. The values shown here are simulated to demonstrate the principle.

It is central to the concept: voluntary activity, enriched habitats, no deprivation and an immediate stop if behaviour changes.

Primarily for research, science education and the occasional powering of ultra-low-consumption sensors.
