Body Heat Energy Harvesting For Charging the Cardiac Pacemaker Battery

This research aims to establish whether or not it ispossible to recharge the battery of a cardiac pacemakerby employing a hybrid system consisting ofthermoelectric generators and wireless power transfersystems. It is hoped that combining these twoapproaches will improve the effectiveness andlongevity of cardiac pacemakers and reduce thenumber of surgeries required to replace batteries.Because these surgeries can be fatal for many peoplethus, finding a way to solve this problem is of the mostimportance. The research indicates that a singlethermoelectric generator that operates nonstop for ۳۶۵days can recoup at least ۰.۵۷۹۲ Wh of lost energyannually, which is more than ۹۶% of the lost energy ofthe battery.
