~protege, <<The company has announced a breakthrough miniature thermoelectric generator that converts body heat flow into 1.5 volts of electricity, capable of running embedded or attachable medical devices. >> Thank you so much for posting that. You have no idea how long and hard I've looked for a device to produce small amounts electrical power in that temperature range. I wonder if higher temperatures, say 120-140 degrees F, would yield higher voltages. If I can't wait for the 3 volt version perhaps if two devices were used I wonder if 3 volts could be reached. Any idea what the amperage might be? Jerry in Omaha
