摘要: A coiled-up thermoelectric micro power generator is presented using metal films sputtered on a thin polyimide foil. The principle of coiling-up yields higher voltages at smaller area. Design optimizations were made for maximum long-term output the human body as heat source. It shown that low-power electronics like wrist-watch even simple materials are sufficient and allow lowest-cost production, e.g. screen printing. Thermoelectrical screen-printing pastes developed results first printed thermocouples given.
