New technology allows recharging mobile phones through body heat

Nova tecnologia permite recarregar telemóveis através do calor corporal

Usable computers or devices have been appointed as the next generation of mobile electronic equipment . However , until now , the technology had not yet been realized because the developed prototypes had poor durability and the amount of energy produced was not enough.
However , a team of South Korean researchers became possible technology. So soon you can charge your phone through body heat. The solution to the development of such technology is found through a glass fiber and a thermoelectric generator manufactured from woven fibers.
The solution was developed in Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology University. Basically , the team of scientists has developed a flexible thermoelectric generator that can recharge mobile devices from body heat . The new technology will be suitable for recharging heart monitors , smartglasses batteries, mobile phones and tablets , among many other devices , the researchers suggest .
A thermoelectric generator can convert heat or temperature differences into electrical energy. Using small , but significant , differences in temperature between the skin and air , Korean researchers have managed to create small flexible thermoelectric generator.
" Currently , we are trying to produce prototypes that can provide electricity to medical sensors " , indicates Byung Jin Cho , responsible investor . " After this first test , the objective is to apply the thermoelectric generator smartphones " he says. The device created by Korean researchers is so flexible that it can be shaped in almost a circle and there is no change in device performance regardless of the positioning of curvature.
