ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating electrical power using animal body heat as the sole energy source. The apparatus includes a plurality of thermocouples connected in series and thermal insulating material for retaining heat in the hot junction and thermal conducting material for conducting heat away from the cold junction whereby a temperature differential between the hot and cold junctions of the thermocouples is maintained body heat energy received by the hot junction is converted to electrical power. The apparatus can be used to replace or supplement the electrical power provided by a low-voltage battery to drive a microelectronic device.
