7. When more power is needed. . .
Number of applications increases when Thermo Life™ is combined with a rechargeable, thin-film battery or similar storage component
“River and Reservoir” concept
Thermo Life™ charges the battery whenever a temperature difference exists
Battery can provide bursts of electrical power much greater than Thermo Life™ could provide on its own
900 microampere hours of power or more

8. Patent pending, one-of-a-kind process
Utilizes principles of semiconductor wafer fabrication
High vacuum deposition “sputters” minute quantities of Bi2Te3 material onto substrate
Material etched to form thermoelectric “couples” that are connected together on the wafer
Wafer cut into pieces - each piece contains hundreds of couples
Several pieces micro-assembled together to achieve desired voltage and power output
