Thermoelectric Harvesting Using Warm-Blooded Animals in Wildlife Tracking Applications

This paper focuses on the design of an optimized thermal interface for a thermoelectric energy harvesting system mounted at endothermic animals. In this application scenario the mammal’s fur reduces the heat flux from the animal’s body through a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to the ambient air. Thi...
