THOR’S BELT:
THERMOGENIC POWER BELT

Combat Bound LLC recognizes the need for a decrease in cognitive and physical loads for the Warfighter and especially the need to decrease the number of batteries required that must be carried in addition to normal operational equipment.

Consider the number of 4-hour batteries needed for a 40-hour mission! Also consider 20 days in the field with limited resupply.

Combat Bound’s Thermogenic Power Belt (TPB) provides a lightweight thermogenic power harvesting solution. Combat Bound’s TPB harvests the natural energy exerted as the human body expels heat.

While this amount of heat is not great, our power modules are able to capture and store this heat in a series of Low Delta Temperature Modules.

The temperature difference generates electricity that can charge a battery or power a device. Additionally, the energy can be used directly in capabilities such as personal body heaters and hand warmers.

Interior:

The Combat Bound Low Delta Temperature module is almost twice as thick as a standard TEG module, enabling greater capability to harvest low energy sources as it slows heat transfer allowing for a larger DT to be generated.
Our modules are rated for very low temperatures from below 0 degrees Celsius up to 180 degrees Celsius.
As such, our design is ideal for body heat harvesting applications.
Additionally, it is ideal for harvesting power from low radiant and convective heat sources.

In Norse mythology, the megingjörð is a belt worn by the god Thor. The Old Norse name 'megin' means power or strength, and 'gjörð' means belt.
When worn, the belt is described as doubling Thor's already prodigious strength.
