This paper descibes the design of a human-powered, batteryless remote control for the Volvo S80, designed at Volvo Car Company and Delft University of Technology. The proposed remote control is powered by bending a piezo element using the muscle power of the user. The main objective of the project was to remove the battery from the remote control, leading to an improved reliability and a reduced environmental impact of the remote control. Removing the battery also greatly reduces the discomfort due to empty batteries or malfunctions in the power supply, as experienced by users. The project demonstrated that a piezo-based generator is a viable, reliable and environmentally sound alternative for batteries.
