MATRIX Industries Prometheus Energy Harvesting Modules convert thermal energy between small temperature gradients into useful electrical output, enabling users to power a device or recharge a battery or supercapacitor. Each Prometheus Module integrates a Gemini Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) with a Mercury Energy Harvesting Boost Converter. This patented technology ensures perfect electrical impedance matching between the TEG and its companion Boost Converter.
The MATRIX Industries Prometheus Energy Harvesting Modules are offered in multiple thermal impedance options between 2K/W and
37K/W with matched heat sinks available for each of these options. Several maximum output voltages (VOUT) between 2V and 5V are available, allowing the Module to directly power integrated circuits or charge various battery chemistries without needing additional charger circuitry. Integrated VOUT regulation prevents voltage overshoot, securing reliable operation with various battery types. The Prometheus Modules are also offered in two form factors (18.0mm x 30.0mm x 5.1mm and 34.0mm x 46.0mm x 5.1mm) for design flexibility.
