The WPG-1 from Nextreme uses innovative solid-state thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert waste heat into electricity for a variety of self-contained, autonomous applications.

Nextreme Thermal Solutions (Durham, NC) announces the availability of the Thermobility Wireless Power Generator (WPG-1) evaluation kit for wireless sensor and security systems. The WPG-1 uses innovative solid-state thin-film thermoelectric technology to convert waste heat into electricity for a variety of self-contained, autonomous applications. The Thermobility WPG-1 provides:

• Maintenance-free operation.
• A constant selectable voltage output of 3.3, 4.1, or 5.0 VDC to electrical loads of 15 kΩ or higher.
• A compact size that consists of a pin-fin heat sink, a custom circuit board, Nextreme's eTEG HV56 thermoelectric power generator module, and a metal attachment plate that is applied to the desired heat source.
• A Linear Technologies LTC3108 Ultralow Voltage Step-Up Converter and Power Manager chip to provide up to 1 mW of electrical power.
• Temperature differentials as low as 15-20 K relative to ambient.
• On-board 2-pin or 6-pin connectors.
