プレゼンテーション概要

  • There is an increased interest in the world today in the development of renewable power sources to replace or augment existing power systems. Thermal energy is an attractive source of energy for many low-power wireless sensor applications.
  • Thermobility™ is a new power generation platform technology that uses innovative, solid-state thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert heat into electricity for a variety of self-contained, autonomous systems.
  • The use of microscale thin-film thermoelectrics is creating new applications and markets for energy harvesting ranging from motion sensors in buildings and integrated bearing condition monitoring in turbine engines; to data acquisition in plumbing and hands-free faucets.
  • Energy harvesting using thermal energy can substantially increase product lifetimes in the field and reduce the total cost of ownership by eliminating the prohibitive cost of battery replacement for decades of maintenance-free operation.
