Korea Develops New Technology Body Heat Collection Patches

Converting the body's remaining energy into electrical energy is not new in itself. When scientists look for renewable new sources of energy, they discover that the human body itself contains potentially underutilized energy, at least they can be used to charge wearable electronic devices. How to collect this extra energy is the key to the application of this concept.

A few days ago, the Korean Institute of Science and Technology has developed a human body heat collector patch that is technologically significant. It is made of lightweight glass fiber material, can be bent to a suitable arc on the arm according to need, and can absorb residual heat energy from the human body more effectively, and convert it into electricity to maximize the charge of wearable electronic equipment. . If this technology is widely used, the battery life of electronic devices is expected to increase substantially. At the same time, this technology may also be used to collect waste heat on a larger scale in automobiles, factories, airplanes, and yachts.
