imagine if the thermocouple tech can be woven into a fine copper and steel linen fabric and worn as a garment that converts body heat into an energy source to run electronics, I know there is similar tech but I am walking a different road on this subject.

I have ordered nickel wire. I have already iron wire. I will couple several of these in series. For example let the iron to nickel coupling get hot and the nickel to iron coupling get cold. A fev hundereds of these in series will cause some voltage, and the amps will be quite great. The energy will then be harvested directly from temperature difference.

Cool stuff :)
