Current thermoelectric solutions in this area tend to be heavy, expensive and require a range of adaptor plates for different heat sources. In KiriTEG, by using thin film technology and advanced assembly techniques we increase flexibility, maximise voltage output and minimise use of thermoelectric material to reduce weight while still maintaining the power output. This leads to an output of 0.7 mV/g/K, 7 times higher than achieved with a conventional device, enabling simpler integration with electronic systems.

The flexible thermoelectric device is designed to work for a temperature difference of 25^oC, for example using standard hot water pipes.
