that is pretty darn good idea! but im sure the prize will be CRAZY.. plus.. does this mean if u have a fever... it will charge even more and faster? xD
USA? I think not enough.. Women here in the us (no pun intended) would wear it out in a few days. They are always on the phone texting........I love women but they need to put down the phone for a little romance once in a while. :=)
Great idea but the amount of energy created by the Seebeck effect is so minimal that if your phone were to die on you, it might have enough power in it to make a 30 second phone call if you wore it all day. Another idea is to add kinetic power to the battery. I believe that the kinetic power wouldn't just add to the thermal power, but rather multiply it. By incorporating kinetic and thermal energy, something like this could be worthwhile.
Technology is worthless, we do not need a phone that has two cameras, flash, internet and the ability to lose signal when you touch the way it does not like to be touched. We need technology thats uses less energy... that is technology.
Current gadgets its all about the ultimate fastest most powerful, when its suppose to be the most efficient, less energy usage, more running time.
We are still using AA and AAA batteries, still in the stone age.
And it costs dimes and nickels affordable to everyone. An inventor is not some knucklehead that only the $elected few can afford. Trust me this fan will not be sold for nickels and dimes in the years to come, this is no RCA VCR or Phillips DVD player. His more of a hobbyist than anything else, a functional sculptor.
Invent a fan that uses and costs a 1/3 of any current fan and then you are an inventor. Dyson, you are obsolete and way off in your virtual vision!
@psiturbo Technology isn't about power efficiency, it's about making your life easier. The internet, flash, cameras, videos, speed and pretty much everything else on the market are designed to make your life easier. Sure, we could make a Motorola Startac run on a li-ion battery for a week, but does anyone really want that? Does anyone really want a step backwards all for the sake of energy efficiency?
@brainslay3r umm... power efficiency does equal technology. technology is defined as an application of science that is used to improve the the quality of life. For some people, getting more output from input makes them happy. Happiness defines their quality of life, lol.
Phone's REALLY need to be less power hungry for such a thing to work. The Seebeck effect creates a voltage at < 10 degrees C but not any significant amount of power in the order of what is needed for such an application. Not even sure whether if you cover your whole body in this, you'd get enough power for a decent charge!
Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!

This would work well in Australia specially in Summer

@TravvyG no it wouldnt it generates more energy with a bigger difference so it would work worse in australia but better in the artic

This is a nice setup using what appears to be Peltier effect junctions. Or some sort of other thermoelectric junction.

Dont think americans are going to like that if it envolves any type of work out (by that I mean even just wearing it).

if all the fat people in america wore this, dyson could have enough energy to conquer TEH WORLD!@!@! or recharge his new iphone4 for 2hrs...

Now thats a good use of technology, i always thought they should make electronics that use the human body for a source of power.
