Human Machine and Thermoelectric Energy Scavenging for Wearable Devices
Figure 7
(a) Design of the simulated TEG module integrated into a piece of clothing (1). (b) Simulated dependence of the maximum power of this module (circles), and of the similar device, where the radiator has fins or pins (not shown in (a)), for a thickness of 5 to 10 mm (triangles). (c) Simulated dependence of the power per unit volume of the TEG (circles), the optimal temperature drop on the thermopile (triangles), and the volume of the module occupied by radiator on module thickness (diamonds). At a thickness of 2 to 4.5 mm, the device has only two plates, thicker devices have a radiator with pins or fins occupying certain volume.
