Abstract

Energy harvesting is considered as topic for researcher for different configuration. In this paper we have considered renewable sources such as solar energy and thermoelectric generator for energy harvesting. Solar energy and thermo electric sources are extracted through designed system and stored in battery for other applications. Solar powered clothing is recent development that exists through which power extracted for applications such as mobile charging and other simple devices. The energy extracted from the system is feed to microcontroller for other applications such as detecting gas nearby region, sensing vibration nearby region through motion sensor and in case of panic situations. All these tasks are performed in battle fields. So if we can integrate power unit with control operating unit for above mentioned tasks continuously. So we have design a jacket through which solar and thermo electric units are placed according design and optimal efficiency. According to demand of operations, we have design battery size and capacity of storage. XL6009 can be used for the conversion. The converted electrical energy is stored in the battery pack and then it is used to charge the small devices like night vision goggles, walkie-talkie, and mobile phones.
