P1_9_Powering_Nanobots_with_Body_Heat

Abstract

This article discusses the feasibility of using variations in the human body temperature to power a medical nanobot. It is found that thermal energy gained from a Carnot cycle process is not sufficient to power a typical nanobot. A typical medical nanobot requires 1x10^-9W, the model outlined here finds that the maximum power a nanorobot can gain is 5.7x10^-17W. Under normal circumstances the power gain is only 2x10¹⁶W. Thus it is concluded that this process is not sufficient to act as the sole power source for such a nanorobot.
