Heat Energy Harvesting for Portable Power Supply

Heat Energy Harvesting for Portable Power Supply (PosHEAT) is the renewable energy which produces electrical energy from waste heat. PosHEAT has many attractive features, such as reduced maintenance, completely silent, no moving parts and no emission to generate electricity. Based on Thermocouple concept, the greatest material to produce more power is Seebeck made from Bismuth Telluride (Bi₂Te₃). PosHEAT will convert heat energy to electrical energy when there is temperature difference between the two sides. Temperature play the main role in this project to produce power. This paper highlights the Seebeck theory and electrical system design for storage of the energy.
