HUMAN THERMOELECTRIC

GENERATOR OUT OF PELTIER TILE

AS POWER BANK CHARGER
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

1. How effective is peltier tiles in producing an innovative human thermoelectric generator for
power bank charger in terms of:
a) Amount of current produced
b) Amount of voltage produced
c) Duration / time of charging
d) Percentage of charging in every 10 minutes
e) Usability / functionality of the device

2. Is there a significant difference among the different variables with the use of peltier tiles to the
amount of voltage that is produced?
3. How many numbers of peltier tile is needed to produce the right amount of voltage to charge a
power bank?
 NULL HYPOTHESIS
There is no significant difference between the number of peltier tile used and
the amount of voltage to charge a powerbank.

General Objective
To produce electricity out of human heat with the aid of peltier
tile.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

1. To plan and design a prototype that can charge mobile devices by the
process of converting body heat energy into useful electricity.
2. To test the regulated output voltage.
3. To check reliability of the prototype in charging mobile devices without
taking damage while charging.
4. To determine if the developed prototype functions well.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

The researchers focused on the study on developing power a human thermoelectric

generator. Thermoelectric generators are devices which convert body heat and excess heat
energy and convert it into a reusable form of electricity. This would have a wide range of
applications in fields ranging from household appliances to spacecraft technology and even in
industrial application, but this study will focus mainly in charging power bank that charges
devices such as cell phone and other gadgets with low voltage requirements.
The purpose of this study is not to replace the conventional source of electricity but
rather an alternative source of power, which is free of charge. The idea was to reutilize body
heat. The researchers limit the source of body heat energy by creating a specific wearable
device to which the Thermoelectric Generator will be installed.
