Many wearables have decent enough battery life, but you know what they are doing even better? If we never have to recharge it at all. The Institute is why researchers have developed small power sources that can generate electricity with body heat, including a team from the Korea advanced of science and technology. This special group designed a new light and flexible Builder from thermoelectric (TE) printed materials glass fibre fabric manufactured. It is by far not the first TE generator out there, but it's a big departure from the usual bulky and rigid.
As the team leader, Byung Jin Cho said:
This is quite a revolutionary concept to design a generator. This could we weight our generator is an essential element for wearable electronics to reduce significantly.
Body heat-absorbing generators from inorganic materials such as this have higher performance than those made from organic materials, so that she better choice. Problem is, they are also generally bigger and stiffer. This creation solves both problems and the glass fibre fabric minimizes heat loss and maximizes the output, as published in the paper explained the Institute recently. Of course take it long take this design in real world devices until we, see if we ever see it. However, the team believes that this Builder has not only a future in wearables, it could also be used, in cars, factories, airplanes, and other vehicles.
