A new thermo-element that can create electricity from human body temperature could soon have users charging their devices with their own body heat.
The fiberglass element, created by researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, is flexible enough to conform to the body and is up to fourteen times more efficient than the conventional ceramic-based versions. The current model, a thin strip about 4 inches long, is able to produce 40mW of power—enough to power a semiconductor chip. Increasing the strip to 20 to 40 inches in size (about the size of a jacket) would increase that amount to 2W, which is enough to power a phone or other device.
