NFC Energy-Harvesting Business Card

Twenty-one LEDs, no battery, powered by the phone reading it

NFC Energy-Harvesting Business Card

Wilson Harper’s business card is a bare PCB whose NFC chip harvests energy from the phone tapping it — enough to wake a microcontroller and run an animation across twenty-one LEDs. No battery, no charging port, nothing to go flat in a wallet. He started it to learn KiCad and it stopped being easy immediately; the write-up walks the antenna and RF work in full, and the board is open on GitHub.
