High efficiency flexible composite thermoelectric generator to harvest energy from waste heat. Traditional thermoelectrics suffer from being rigid, bulky and high cost (>$20/watt), and also operate at high temperatures using active cooling. Nimbus has developed paper thin (<1mm thickness) flexible composite thermoelectric generator at room temperature using standard materials and tools at very low cost (<10 cents/watt).
