Designed charger for mobile devices from body heat Bashny.Net

Every owner of a modern wearable gadgets (smartphones and smart watches) is familiar with the problem of a small operating time of the battery. Of course, the charge, you can forget to buy a mechanical watch or a mobile phone of last generation, but not everyone agrees.

But what to use as a reliable source of energy? Hat with solar battery? Maybe a miniature nuclear reactor in your pocket? South Korean scientists at the Institute of advanced Sciences and technologies found their way out of this situation – they decided to use for charging of Wearables human body heat. The inventors have managed to create a miniature light and flexible generator made of thermoelectric material particular.





Thermoelectric generators are usually made of inorganic materials, and the power they have is higher than that of the generators, made from organic materials. The problem is that these generators are stiffer and heavier. The development of South Korean scientists just focused on solving this problem. And that's what they decided to do: fiberglass, on which is printed a miniature generator, reduces the weight several times, and the output energy increases. This can be seen from the article, which the Institute published on its official website. Scientists note that their creation in the future can be used in vehicles, including aircraft.

Byung Jin Cho, leader of the team, said: "This is a revolutionary approach to the design of miniature generators. We managed to reduce the weight of our generator, but this is one of the most important requirements for modern wearable electronics".
