Integrating Thermoelectric Technology into
Clothing for Generating Usable Energy to Power Wireless Devices
Convert Body Heat into Reliable Energy for Powering Ultra Low-Power Mobile Devices
Harvesting Body Heat with ‘Wearable’ Thermoelectrics
• The human body is a perpetual thermal engine.
• Wearable thin-film thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can reliably convert this heat energy to power wireless monitoring devices.
• Integrated into apparel to power devices that monitor movement, activity, or physiological condition.
Convert Body Heat into Reliable Energy for Powering Ultra Low-Power Mobile Devices
Utilizing the Harvested Energy To Power Ultra Low-Power Mobile Monitoring Devices
Rapid advances in low-power sensors, radio technologies, and wearable energy harvesting technologies are enabling battery-free solutions.
Battery-Free Demonstration: Thermoelectric energy is generated and stored in the jacket, offering an always available energy source for powering wireless health, fitness, & location awareness monitoring devices.
The demonstration is sponsored in part by DHS Science & Technology Small Business Innovation Research
