Abstract
A system includes power harvesting circuitry in combination with energy storage and conversion circuitry. The power harvesting circuitry may be configured to respond to energy generated by rotary machinery having at least condition being monitored by at least one component having at least one electronic circuit, and provide harvested power. The energy storage and conversion circuitry may be configured to respond to the harvested power provided from the power harvesting circuitry, and provide stored and converted power to the at least one component for monitoring the least one condition of the rotary machinery.
