Get Your Green Power On!

<div><img alt="" class="attachment-large size-large wp-post-image" height="450" src="https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/green-powered-tw-hh-ntitle_2x.png?w=800" style="margin: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 15px;" width="800" /></div><p>Nobody likes power cords, and batteries always need recharging or replacing. What if your device could run on only the power it could gather together by itself from the world around it? It would be almost like free energy, although without breaking the laws of physics.</p>
<p>Hackaday’s 2026 <a href="https://hackaday.io/contest/205085-green-powered-challenge" target="_blank">Green-Powered Challenge</a> asks you to show us your devices, contraptions, and hacks that can run on the power they can harvest. Whether it’s heat, light, vibration, or any other source of energy that your device gathers to keep running, we’d like to see it.</p>
<p>The top three entries will receive $150 shopping sprees courtesy of the contest’s sponsor, DigiKey, so get your entry in before April 24, 2026, to be eligible to win.</p>
<h2>Honorable Mentions</h2>
<p>As always, we have several honorable mention categories to get your creative juices flowing:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Solar</strong>: In terms of self-powered anything, photovoltaic cells are probably the easiest way to go, but yet good light-harvesting designs aren’t exactly trivial either. Let’s see what you can run on just the sun. (Or even room lighting?)</li>
<li><strong>Anything But PV</strong>
