Our guest David Wentzloff co-founded Everactive in 2012 and is currently its co-CTO. He is also a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Faculty Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan.

In this episode, David and Bruce discuss:

The numbers around university intellectual property transfer.
How to harvest enough energy through heat or light to eliminate batteries.
The opportunity to further improve on steam as an efficient method of energy transfer.
Use cases for steam (heat) powered sensors and the industries they operate in.
Case study that quantifies the cost and value created by monitoring steam traps which then enables us to compute a return on technology investment and the payback period.
