Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus for a thermoelectric (TE) contrast therapy device and related methods. The thermoelectric contrast therapy device includes a control node (610) and a plurality of thermoelectric nodes (605). The control node electrically and mechanically connected to the plurality of thermoelectric nodes, the control node configured to direct the heating and cooling functions as well as timing functions. Each of thermoelectric nodes includes a thermoelectric module (105) structured with a supply side (115) and a waste side (120), a phase change material (110), a reservoir (725), a thermal sink (320), a spreader (125) and a controller (1010). The thermoelectric contrast therapy device pre-charges (1105) the PCM contained in the reservoir; provides (910) opposite heating and cooling functions using the supply side and the waste side of the thermoelectric module; and directs, using the controller, the heating and cooling functions as well as timing functions.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatus for a beverage brewer. The beverage brewer including a burner, a reservoir, a controller, and a thermoelectric generator. The burner produces combustible heat across a surface. The reservoir stores a brewing fluid. The controller controls a brewing process. The thermoelectric generator is structured with a supply side, a waste side and a power output. The supply side is directed towards the surface of the burner. The waste side contacts the reservoir. The power output powers the controller.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus for a portable thermal power station and related methods. The power station includes a burner, a reservoir, an output power plug, and a thermoelectric generator. The burner produces combustible heat across a surface. The reservoir stores a cooling fluid. The output power plug electrically connects to an external device. The thermoelectric generator receives heat energy, converts the heat energy to electrical energy, outputs the converted electrical energy to the external device, and disperses excess heat energy to the reservoir.
