Battery Dongle

Thermoelectric wearable. Harvest waste body heat, power your day.

Wearable energy for a more mobile tomorrow.
Concept board coming
01 / The problem

Notice it.

Your body sheds heat all day and none of it does anything. Meanwhile the watch and the phone both need charging.

02 / The solution

Make it better.

A three-part system that turns body heat into stored, usable power. A coat clip module captures heat at the jacket opening: the warm side sits inside the coat, a thermoelectric generator in the middle, and a finned cool side is exposed to outside air. A watch band with a skin-contact plate and exposed heat spreader supplements watch power. Both feed a slim pocket battery with a harvesting circuit, rechargeable cell and USB-C output for the phone.

Note Body-heat harvesting is low power. Phone charging relies on stored energy and conventional recharging.

Details
  • 01 Coat clip: TEG module at the jacket opening or hem, insulated edge clip
  • 02 Watch band: skin contact plate, TEG, exposed heat spreader, storage cell
  • 03 Pocket battery: harvesting circuit, rechargeable battery, USB-C out
  • Electrical path: TEG, low-voltage boost, charge control, battery, watch / USB-C output
  • Concept only, not to scale
What’s next

Measuring real TEG output at the coat opening across a winter day.
