IBM Cloud - Structured Ideas


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Cloud and its products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

A Very Unique Thermoelectric generator (It Can Absorb Heat from Electrical Devices or Sun or Air, And Convert It into Electricity)

This thermoelectric generator can be used with all electrical and electronic devices. Because this thermoelectric generator is able to work as a cooling unit for these devices. By absorbing excess heat and converting it into electrical energy that can be used to charge the batteries of this device included with it. 

This thermoelectric generator can also absorb heat from the environment surrounding the device (such as the sun or atmospheric air temperature) and convert it into electricity to charge the batteries of the device attached to it.

This thermoelectric generator can be attached to UPS systems to charge batteries from renewable energy sources. This will also be useful in remote areas where there are no power sources.

This thermoelectric generator can be manufactured as a separate device that can be used with any other device to cool it. Or it can be placed inside the devices that it will cool (like computers, or UPS, etc.…)

 

This thermoelectric generator can produce electricity by absorbing heat from the following sources:

1- All electrical (and electronic) devices.

2- The sun.

3- Atmospheric air temperature.

4- Sea water

5- Combustion of fuel or coal.

 

 

Advantages:

1- The cost of manufacturing this thermoelectric generator is low, due to the simplicity of its design.

2- It can be manufactured in any medium-capacity workshop, using simple tools.

3- This thermoelectric generator can be used with all electrical and electronic devices. Because this thermoelectric generator is able to work as a cooling unit for these devices. By absorbing excess heat and converting it into electrical energy that can be used to charge the batteries of this device included with it. This thermoelectric generator can also absorb heat from the environment surrounding the device (such as the sun or atmospheric air temperature) and convert it into electricity to charge the batteries of the device attached to it.

4- The thermoelectric generator can be placed inside the devices that it will cool, such as computers, UPS systems, etc....

5- It can also be a separate device that can be used with any device (to cool it) or it can work as a separate electrical thermoelectric generator.

6- This thermoelectric generator can be used in free electricity generation plants from renewable energy sources such as the sun, atmospheric air heat, or seawater heat. It can also be used as a cooling unit for all engines that run on fossil fuels to generate electricity or even steam engines.

Therefore, this thermoelectric generator can contribute to solving the energy crisis that the world is experiencing these days.

7- This thermoelectric generator can be used as a cooling device for all engines in transportation such as cars, trains, airplanes, and ships. To absorb excess heat from those engines and convert it into electricity.

8- This thermoelectric generator will be very useful for electric cars and electric planes as well.

Note:

1- The readiness of this invention is 95%.

2- In case you are interested to know more about this idea, I can send you:

   - A 3D prototype

    - Full description with drawings
