Introducing. . . Thermo Life™ low power thermoelectric generator “Powered By Thermo Life™” A Subsidiary of Applied Digital (NASDAQ: ADSX)
Thermo Life™ is. . . • Patent pending revolutionary micro-technology device and low power thermoelectric generator • Converts thermal energy into electrical energy • Continuous 3V power (or more) • Only 5 °C temperature difference necessary to generate power • Greater temperature difference equals greater power • Anywhere • Virtually forever 3V power source from BODY HEAT or ANY SOURCE of 5 °C (or more) temperature difference © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
Freedom from battery charging & replacement • Thermo Life™ promises to revolutionize the approach to powering low-power devices • Cost of ownership will be reduced • New applications will be possible and endless • Using electricity produced from • Body heat • Other sources of renewable heat energy • Any environmental condition where a temperature gradient exists © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
A world of applications. . . • Thermo Life™ can power all kinds of low-power electronic devices • In situations where battery power is limited, needs recharging, is not feasible or is not desirable • Continuous, renewable power for decades without maintenance or human intervention of any kind © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
A world of applications (2). . . • Industrial/commercial applications • ZigBee wireless sensor networks • Automobile tire pressure monitors • Wireless HVAC sensors • Wireless lighting and energy controls • Wireless industrial process control sensors • Oil and gas well head sensors • Ecological/energy applications • Secondary power generation/recovery • Electric generation grid device monitor sensors • Environmental condition sensors © Copyright 2005 ZigBee Alliance © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
A world of applications (3). . . • Medical applications • Cochlear hearing replacements • Nerve stimulation implants • Consumer applications • Watches • Self-powered toys and novelties • Government/military applications • Wireless personal area networks • Ammunition safety sensors • Space science • Building environmental control and security © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
When more power is needed. . . • Number of applications increases when Thermo Life™ is combined with a rechargeable, thin-film battery or similar storage component • “River and Reservoir” concept • Thermo Life™ charges the battery whenever a temperature difference exists • Battery can provide bursts of electrical power much greater than Thermo Life™ could provide on its own • 900 microampere hours of power or more © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
Patent pending, one-of-a-kind process • Utilizes principles of semiconductor wafer fabrication • High vacuum deposition “sputters” minute quantities of Bi2Te3 material onto substrate • Material etched to form thermoelectric “couples” that are connected together on the wafer • Wafer cut into pieces - each piece contains hundreds of couples • Several pieces micro-assembled together to achieve desired voltage and power output © 2005 Thermo Life™ Energy Corp.
