Abstract
The electrical potentials between living trees and their surrounding environment can be deployed to create a sustainable power supply which is usable by wireless sensor networks in forests. We have tapped into the methods to collect the electrical potentials, tested the influence of electrode spacing, and estimated the internal resistance between the trees and the ground. We designed and fabricated a boost converter circuit that is able to generate a 1.8V-2V output by using living trees solely as a power source. The boost circuit can help to make better use of the energy collected from living trees.
