using a peltier junction or thermocouple to generate electrical energy can work but using the human body for this will not. Example. if the temperature outside is 30 degrees, your external temperature is 85, that heat sink pasted to your skin will cause extreme pain in about 5-10 minutes. One end is on your skin and the other is open to the cold air. In order to make it comfortable for the user you have to sacrifice power generation. which will make the unit un-useable. Your body requires the nice regulation that it does on it's own for heat loss. increasing the speed one loses heat and hypothermia kicks in, slow down the rate of heat loss and heat stroke kicks in. ------------------ So when is the development team going to release human 3.0 beta? -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
