Thermobility uses innovative solid-state thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert heat into electricity for a variety of self-contained, autonomous systems.

Nextreme Thermal Solutions (Durham, NC) has introduced Thermobility, the next generation of power generation technology that uses heat as a source of electricity for low-power wireless applications. Thermobility uses innovative solid-state thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert heat into electricity for a variety of self-contained, autonomous systems. Features include:

• Maintenance-free operation.
• A constant voltage output of 3.3, 4.1, or 5.0 VDC.
• Electrical loads of 15 kΩ or higher.
• A pin-fin heat sink.
• A custom circuit board.
• Nextreme's eTEG HV56 thermoelectric power generator module.
• A metal attachment plate that is applied to the desired heat source.
• Linear Technologies’ LTC®3108 Ultralow Voltage Step-Up Converter and Power Manager chip, which provides up to 1 mW of electrical power at temperature differentials as low as 15-20 K relative to ambient.
• DIP switches for setting the output voltage.
