Generator

Hi, Habr!

One of the weaknesses of portable devices, including smart phones and smart watches, this period of operation without recharging. Of course, it would be better to forget about their recharging, as necessary, to twist pimpochku hours with car factory.

But what to use as a source of energy? Hat with a solar panel? Porate nuclear reactor? In the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology decided to use to charge the heat of the human body. A group of scientists has developed a lightweight and flexible generator made of a thermoelectric material.





Thermoelectric generators made from inorganic materials have a capacity greater than those made from organic. The problem is that they do stiffer and larger. Development of Korean scientists focused on solving these problems: fiberglass, which is printed on the generator, reduces heat loss and increases energy output. About this article argues, published by the Institute. Also, the development team noted that their creation can be used in vehicles, including aircraft.

Byung Jin Cho, the leader of the development team:

This is a revolutionary approach to design generators. We were able to significantly reduce the weight of our generator - and this parameter is an important element for wearable electronics. Blockquote>
That's just about when we will see this in the development of real gadgets, we do not report.
