From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Status of electrical actuator applications [PDF]

IECEC 96. Proceedings of the 31st Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2002
An ever increasing number of actuation functions historically performed by hydraulics or pneumatics are being accomplished by electric actuation. If "end to end" systems are considered, electric actuators (EAs) are potentially lighter and more efficient.
