(5) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In previous times when technology hadn't been excavated much, Thermoelectric
generators, also known as Seebeck generators, are devices that can turn temperature
fluctuations into electricity. They developed a flexible generator that can be wrapped around
Region XI
hot surfaces such as pipes, converting heat that would otherwise be wasted into electricity.
Now, the Researchers are using this idea to make a Powerbank-like Tumbler that uses
Heat/Cold to make Electricity that can charge Devices. Such as Cellphones, iPads, Laptops, and
more.

(6) INTRODUCTION
Heat and Cold can be good or bad for a person depending on their Body
Temperature Control System. But what if we turn this Heat Into Electricity? And No, not just
Normal electricity, it Is Electricity in a Bottle.
Introducing The ElectroFlask, a Tumbler that can turn Cold or Heat into
Electricity that can charge our Phones anytime. And, no, you don’t have to load it up with
batteries, or tether it to a wall outlet. Instead, it generates the power all on its own using the
heat or cool it draws out of your drink. All drinks won't work with it. For instance, Tap water
straight from the faucet is unlikely to be beneficial to your cause. Instead, since they produce
the greatest amount of heat differential, the generator functions best with either extremely hot
or extremely cold liquids. So that's why the researchers will make a double-walled container
inside it. Just like a thermos. So that it will maintain the Heat or Coldness inside the Tumbler
It can be used when you are traveling and you can't find any outlet to charge your
device. And at the same time, you can enjoy your drink whenever you want.
(6.1) RATIONALE/SIGNIFICANCE
Region XI
The Researchers have brought to this study because nowadays, people are most
likely with technology especially Cellphones, tablets, laptops, and many more. Researchers are
aiming to develop a device that can charge your electronic devices, so that if you are traveling,
you won't be stressed on finding an outlet when your phone's battery is dead. People nowadays
mostly use gadgets everyday, this leads the Researchers for this idea so that it will not only
decreases the usage of electricity, but also conserve Energy.
(6.2) SCIENTIFIC BASIS/THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK/MATHEMATICAL
THEORY INVOLVED
When different metals are subjected to temperature variations, the Seebeck Effect
results in the generation of an electric current. The basis for Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs)
or Seebeck generators, which converts heat into energy. A Thermoelectric Generator (TEG),
also known as a Seebeck generator, is a solid state device that utilizes the Seebeck effect to
transform heat flow (temperature differential) into electrical energy (a form of thermoelectric
effect). This way, Electricity can be produced using Temperature variations. Thus, useful for
the study of the researchers.
Now, Powerbanks use Lithium Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries. A
lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery which uses the reversible
Region XI
reduction of lithium ions to store energy. It is the predominant battery type used in portable
consumer electronics and electric vehicles.
While A Lithium Polymer Battery, or more correctly Lithium-Ion Polymer
Battery, is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead
of a liquid electrolyte. High conductivity semisolid (gel) polymers form this electrolyte. These
batteries provide higher specific energy than other lithium battery types and are used in
applications where weight is a critical feature, such as mobile devices, radio-controlled aircraft
and some electric vehicles. These two devices can be connected in order to make the Invention
made by the Researchers.
(6.3) OBJECTIVES
This study's main objective is to develop a device that uses renewable energy, and
one of its key objectives is to ensure that it is extremely effective and efficient when in use.
Specifically, the objectives in this study are:
• To conserve Energy. Lower living costs are the effect of energy conservation because it saves
money. It helps consumers keep more money in their own pockets while simultaneously
reducing carbon dioxide emissions and excessive resource use.

Region XI
• People won't worry when their battery is dead while traveling because they can charge their
Devices anytime and anywhere.
(7) REVIEW OF LITERATURE
(National)
Since the beginning of 1992, the Philippines has been experiencing daily
brownout as a result of power shortages. One logical solution to this major problem is to look
for non-conventional sources of energy. Battery cells provide a source of power when
electricity is not available. (Guerra, Alicante, Iresh, Fortes, Merano, & Bangalisan, (2020))
With the natural sources of energy such as fossil fuels is slowly depleting, it
became a trend to find new sources of unlimited energy. Renewable source of energy is the best
source of unlimited energy for it will be utilizing the resources around like solar, hydro, wind,
and many more. One of those newly developed renewable sources utilizes the waste heat
developed by individual machines. Since electrical generating machines that use combustion
engines generate a considerable amount of waste heat energy from the exhaust gases. (Cepe,
Ricafort, & Rosal (2020))

Region XI
Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module converts heat energy into electric energy
through temperature difference generated from both the hot and cold side of the module itself.
This study used eight thermoelectric modules for the accumulation of waste heat to the hot side
of the module and as for the cooling side; the researchers used a radiator as a medium to hold
the cold substance. Based on the result of the testing, the device works best on waste heat
source from transport systems. For the cold side of the TEG device, cold water exhibits better
performance in charging the batteries. Practically, the device can be used anytime and
anywhere by anyone as long as the source has the capacity to generate sufficient heat. (Marcos,
Cristomoso, Granado, Peralta, & Matias (2020))
(International)
Energy crisis and environment deterioration are two major problems for 21st
century. Thermoelectric device is a promising solution for those two problems. This review
begins with the basic concepts of the thermoelectric and discusses its recent material researches
about the figure of merit. It also reports the recent applications of the thermoelectric generator,
including the structure optimization which significantly affects the thermoelectric generator, the
low temperature recovery, the heat resource and its application area. Then it reports the recent
application of the thermoelectric cooler including the thermoelectric model and its application
area. It ends with the discussion of the further research direction. (He, Zhang, Zhang, Ji, Li, &
Zhao (2015))
Region XI
To understand the importance taking thermal and electrical contact resistances into
account in analysis of thermoelectric generators, full-scale modules were studied. Contact
resistances were determined by means of non-linear regression analysis on the basis of results
from 3D finite element simulations and experiments in a setup in which heat flow, voltage, and
current were measured. Statistical evaluation showed that the model and the identified contact
resistances enabled excellent prediction of performance over the entire range of operating
conditions. It was shown that if contact resistances were not included in the analysis the
simulations significantly over-predicted both heat flow and electric power output, and it was
concluded that contact resistance should always be included in module simulations. (Högblom
& Andersson, (2014)
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are a form of energy harvester and eco-friendly
power generation system that directly transform thermal energy into electrical energy. The
thermoelectric (TE) method of energy harvesting takes advantage of the Seebeck effect, which
offers a simple solution for fulfilling the power-supply demand in almost every electronics
system. A high-temperature condition is commonly essential in the working mechanism of the
TE device, which unfortunately limits the potential implementation of the device. This paper
presents an in-depth analysis of TEGs at low operating temperature. The review starts with an
extensive description of their fundamental working principles, structure, physical properties,
and the figure of merit (ZT). An overview of the associated key challenges in optimising ZT
Region XI
value according to the physical properties is discussed, including the state of the art of the
advanced approaches in ZT optimisation. Finally, this manuscript summarises the research
status of Bi2Te3-based semiconductors and other compound materials as potential materials for
TE generators working at low operating temperatures. The improved TE materials suggest that
TE power-generation technology is essential for sustainable power generation at near-room
temperature to satisfy the requirement for reliable energy supplies in low-power
electrical/electronics systems. (Zulkepli, Yunas, Mohamed, & Hamzah (2021))
