Abstract: The present disclosure provides a circuits for harvesting energy from an energy source. The energy source may have a first and a second potential of an input voltage. The circuits may further comprise one or more of a charging capacitor, transformers, transistors, or diodes. The circuits may be used for harvesting energy from thermoelectric generators.
Abstract: Methods for promoting the survivability and growth of seeds and seedlings which employ a fertilizer or a synergistic combination of a fertilizer and a moisture absorbing polymer which furnishes a reservoir of the moisture needed for plant growth and also provides a growth medium for soil bacteria relied upon to break down and release nitrogen from the fertilizer molecules. Systems for delivering these formulations and for verifying the delivery of the material.
