Micro-Thermoelectric UE Harvester
Wearable and Smartphone Body-Heat Energy Harvester
Micro-scale thermal generator that converts the temperature gradient between human body heat (or processor heat) and ambient air into electricity for 6G terminals.
Technical Explanation
In 6G smart rings, earbuds, health patches, and continuous monitoring wearables, charging via cables is undesirable. Micro-thermoelectric energy harvesters exploit the Seebeck effect across micro-engineered thermocouple arrays embedded in the device casing. By converting a temperature difference of only 2-5°C into continuous tens of microwatts of electrical power, it sustains ultra-low-power 6G companion processors, physiological sensors, and wake-up radios indefinitely.
Key Functions
- Converts human body heat continuously into micro-electrical current
- Powers continuous biosensing and short-range 6G telemetry without battery plugs
- Recycles smartphone internal processor heat to extend screen-on battery life
- Functions without moving parts or mechanical wear
