SEMICONDUCTOR THERMOELECTRIC MODULE CHARGER FOR MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for recycling the electrical energy that has been consumed and converted into unwanted thermal energy. A power source for supplying power to a mobile computing system comprises a rechargeable battery and a semiconductor thermoelectric module coupled to the rechargeable battery and a charring circuit. The thermoelectric module is disposed proximate to a heat generating member of the computing system and operable to sense the thermal energy released by the member and convert it into electrical energy based on Seeback effect. The converted electrical energy can be regulated and stored in the rechargeable battery.
