Abstract :
This paper describes a drive system of DC-DC chopper using Energy Harvesting. Thermoelectric devices are applied to an inductance to generate small electric power that results to make a system high efficiency and miniaturization. This paper shows a proposed drive system and a thermoelectric generate system. The system is evaluated by some experimental results.
