Spotted on Slashdot: A Miniaturized Thermoelectric Generator Powered by Body Heat
Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. today announced that it has developed a miniaturized thermoelectric generator -- a half-inch diameter ceramic-based "battery'' that converts low gradient body heat flow into electrical power. This "battery'' is a solid-state device, does not contain any chemicals and would never need any replenishment. At the present time, this revolutionary device generates 1.5 volts of electricity with 10 micron amps and is able to operate continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
