"Your home is quietly bleeding energy right now. That Wi-Fi router humming in the corner, the TV on standby, the microwave clock glowing in the dark. They're all drawing power even when you're not using them, creating what's known as "phantom load." But what if there was a way to capture all that invisible waste and turn it into something useful?"
"The system works through a series of mushroom-inspired modules that would be scattered throughout your home like organic sculptures. Each Spoa unit contains antennas designed to harvest electromagnetic fields from nearby devices, then convert and store that energy in small batteries. The idea is beautifully simple: let these little energy collectors quietly do their work while you go about your daily routine."
"Setting up Spoa would involve mapping your home's electromagnetic hotspots using sensors, then placing modules in the most energy-rich locations. A companion app would track how much power each unit collects, send you alerts when they're fully charged, and help you understand your home's invisible energy patterns. It's like having a personal energy ecosystem that learns and adapts to your space."
Spoa proposes harvesting household phantom load by collecting ambient electromagnetic fields from always-on devices and converting that energy into stored electricity. Mushroom-inspired modules with integrated antennas would be distributed across a home and placed in mapped electromagnetic hotspots. Each module converts harvested fields into electricity and stores it in small batteries. A companion app monitors collection levels, notifies users when units are charged, and visualizes invisible energy patterns. The aesthetic uses organic, spore-like forms and radial gradients in soft colors to integrate the system visually into domestic interiors while functioning as a distributed energy-collection ecosystem.
