THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR WITH MICRO-ELECTROSTATIC ENERGY CONVERTER

A power supply comprises a thermoelectric generator, an initial energy management assembly, an electrostatic converter and a final energy management assembly. The thermoelectric generator is adapted to generate an electrical activation energy with sufficiently high voltage in response to a temperature gradient acting across the thermoelectric generator. The initial energy management assembly is connected to the thermoelectric generator and is adapted to receive and condition the electrical activation energy produced by the thermoelectric generator. The electrostatic converter is connected to the initial energy management assembly and is activatable by the electrical activation energy received therefrom and is configured to generate electrical energy in response to vibrational energy acting thereupon. The final energy management assembly is connected to the electrostatic converter and is adapted to condition the electrical energy produced thereby.
