Thermo Life
Thermo Life is a thermoelectric source generating power in concert with a thermoelectric principle that converts heat flow directly into electrical energy.
Wherever a temperature difference can be used, it is a self-generating energy source with an output of approximately 10 µW at voltages in the volt range.
Based on a temperature differential gradient, heat always seeks a cold surface. The Thermo Life generator when attached to a cold surface collects heat until it warms up to the same temperature as the heat moving to it.
Applications
The Thermo Life power generator is a new energy source for micro and sensor systems in consumer and medical applications, such as
- attachable medical devices,
- electronic wrist watches,
- self powered heat sensors,
- mobile electronics
Power Storage
Advanced Power Solutions has entered into a joint venture with Front Edge Technology. The technology solution presented through this joint venture portrays Thermo Life’s™ body-heat, thermo-electric generator as creating constant electricity whose flow is contingent upon body heat. Front Edge Technology’s NanoEnergy™ can be viewed as a technology capable of storing energy that flows to it and releasing that energy in a specific capacity over an extended period. This combination creates a tiny, reliable and self-generating power source that does not require constant contact with the body and is void of toxic or hazardous materials.
