The whole human body at normal rest/light activity generates around 100W of metabolic energy production. If all the energy production...

Yeah, I am surprised also. Probably for money grab or something. Also, thermoelectric tech is fascinating, cos spacecraft beyond Jupiter...

Just in case some materials are found to increase efficiency from the current Peltier device.

And for how long would the 6mW last, as the tube would lose cooling as hand heat warms it up, and the device in turn lose electrical...

Good science fair project but I'm surprised they bothered to patent it.

Yup, a student built a hand heat powered torch back in 2014, and the torch needed 6 mW to power. The torch lit up, but barely. Torch...

That isn't true. The entire body puts out about 70W of heat. The surface area of a hand is probably 1% of the entire body. And...

Can you show us your calculations that support this? How much energy do you get out of a Peltier thermoelectric generator with a human...

CNN has an article, but I feel like there should be more coverage of this. Seems like kind of a big deal...

Parachutes don't give you precision, so you can only do an ocean splashdown. That's bad for the engines, and the corrosive salt water is...

I heard that there might be a manned mission to the moon in 2026. Is this true?
