THERMOELECTRIC CHARGING CASE FOR HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

A flexible case for a handheld electronic device that converts thermal energy produced by the device into direct current used to trickle charge the internal battery of said device. The case comprises a thermoelectric element for the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy, an adapter to transmit direct current from the thermoelectric element to the internal battery of the handheld electronic device, and a cooling compartment to maintain a temperature difference across the thermoelectric element. The case further includes a flexible exterior shell, which permits the case to accommodate handheld electronic devices of various shapes and sizes.
