Claim:
1. A hand-held electronic device comprising: a memory; a processor electrically communicating with the memory and having processor circuitry operative to execute instructions stored in the memory; a display electrically communicating with the processor and operative to display images responsive to inputs directed by the processor; a kinetic energy harvester operative to generate electrical power responsive to movement of the hand-held electronic device; and a Peltier component in thermal communication with the processor, the Peltier component having a cool side facing toward the processor and a hot side facing away from the processor, the Peltier component electrically communicating with the kinetic energy harvester to receive only the electrical power generated by the kinetic energy harvester and, responsive thereto, to remove heat from the processor; and a power converter being operative to condition the electrical power received from the kinetic energy harvester, the power converter being further operative to provide the conditioned electrical power to the Peltier component; wherein the memory, the processor and the display lack electrical connectivity with the kinetic energy harvester; and responsive to the movement of the hand-held electronic device, the electrical power from the kinetic energy harvester is used by the Peltier component to cool the cool side such that the processor is cooled.
