PPL eat every day to store energy so (s)he can waste it pointlessly.. and now they invent a method how to "collect" energy from ppl, so they could power their laptops, cells, cars, houses, cities??

If you extract heat from something you cool it down. This applies even if the heat was "wasted" in the first place- ordinarily your body heat warms the air around you, if you then extract heat from this air then you'll cool it down and consequently cool you down as well. As such this will indeed "suck" heat out of you in addition to that which would otherwise go in to heating the air.]]>Aug 17th 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 18th 2007 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 19th 2007 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 19th 2007 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/

The second comment was exactly about it, don't you read them before commenting on them? no offence :)]]>Aug 17th 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 17th 2007 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 17th 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/Aug 17th 2007 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/

I think that should be "1W to operate so 2mV", not milliwatts. You never mentioned milliwatts.]]>Aug 17th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/
Look at the picture: 2.019mW.

But wouldn't equilibrium eventually be reached, so that the average temperature of the device and the hand would be too similar for power to be generated?]]>Aug 17th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/
If your hand happens to heat the whole object up, it will still be working off the cold air, or warm air.

As far as i can see it works off the difference in temp of you and the air around you, not its own heat.

Saying that, i never did science, so i am probably wrong.]]>Aug 17th 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/17/body-powered-circuits-developed-by-fraunhofer-institute/
