Abstract

The invention discloses a thermoelectrically powered wireless vehicle system sensor system. A vehicle including a heat harvesting device positioned adjacent to a heat generating vehicle system. The heat harvesting device generates electricity based on the temperature difference to power the sensors and wireless transmitters.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to thermoelectrically powered wireless vehicle system sensors. Background technique [0002] Vehicle system sensors are powered by batteries, piezoelectric, or conventional 12V direct current (DC). Batteries need periodic replacement. Piezoelectric collectors have low energy density, have relatively low efficiency, durability, and reliability and do not provide constant power. Conventional 12V direct current (DC) has relatively high cost and weight due to wires and wiring in conventional electronic systems. The wires carry power to and signals from the various sensors. Contents of the invention [0003] The technology relates to thermoelectrically powered wireless vehicle system sensors. This publication describes thermoelectric generators (TEGs), such as thermoelectric modules (TEMs), that provide power to sensors and wireless transmitters. [0004] The present invention includes following scheme: [00...
