Human body produces large quantities of heat that are released in the environment. The main question is if it is possible to use this heat to generate electricity and charge mobile phones and other gadgets. The scientists have made progress in related research by developing termoelectric technology that is based on carbon nanotubes. The main idea is to line the devices with a special nanofiber material that is able to convert heat into electricity. You could put your phone in your pocket and it will be charged by using your body heat. The other ideas for inventions based on the termoelectric principle is creating car seats lined with termoelectric materials and boost the car batteries. Chairs and sofas could also be lined with termoelectric materials and you could just sit at home and watch TV and generate electricity for your devices. Termoelectic materials that are based on carbon nanotubes are still in development, but we could certainly hope that the idea will come into practical usage.
