ENERGY HARVESTING SURVEY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DETECTING THERMAL ENERGY |
摘要 |
An energy harvesting survey apparatus includes a main body having a first end positioned proximate to a machine configured to produce thermal energy and a second end positioned a predefined distance from the first end. At least one first sensor is coupled to the first end and is configured to detect a temperature of a surface of the machine. At least one second sensor is coupled to the second end and is configured to detect a temperature of ambient air substantially surrounding the machine. A circuit is coupled to the first and second sensors, and is configured to generate at least one output representative of an expected power output of a thermoelectric generator coupled to the machine based at least in part on the detected machine surface temperature and the detected ambient air temperature. A display device is coupled to the circuit and is configured to display the output. |
