POWER GENERATING MECHANISM AND COMPUTER DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generating mechanism for efficiently converting the heat energy of a heating part formed in electronic equipment into electric energy. SOLUTION: In a power generating mechanism 40, a heat sink 42 of a CPU cooler 2C is mounted on a CPU 20 of a note-sized PC 10 so that heat generated by the CPU 20 can be radiated, and that component cooling can be realized. A Seebeck element module 60A is mounted on the heat sink 42 so that a large temperature difference can be applied with the heat emitted from the heat sink 42 and the cooling accompanied with the blast of a fan unit 44. Thus, an electromotive force to be obtained from the Seebeck element module 60A can be increased.
