Nick Zetta, a YouTuber known as Basically Homeless, successfully converted his body heat into electricity using thermoelectric generators. He covered a bodysuit with these generators and worked out in cold weather, generating enough power to charge a smartphone and move a small robot.
An experimentator has used waste heat of his body to turn humans into batteries. Nick Zetta, who runs Basically Homeless YouTube channel, turned himself into a battery using thermoelectric generators.Zetta followed a simple approach that aimed at capturing the waste heat from the human body and turning that into electricity.Thermoelectric generator, which uses temperature differential to force electron flow, played a major role in this experiment.
By only applying his body heat to the thermoelectric generators in short “pulses,” he could keep the output at either a relatively high level or nothing. That proved to be enough to move a small, lightweight robot across a table, reported Hackster.“So in order to become the world’s first human battery and harvest my body heat, I just needed to find a way to get these stuck all over my body,” said Zetta.“The bigger temperature difference we see, the more electricity is produced.
