A compact thermoelectric generator built by researchers at Pennsylvania State University can convert exhaust heat from cars, ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel's potential energy while the rest is lost ...

Alkali metal thermoelectric converters (AMTECs) are innovative devices designed to convert thermal energy directly into electrical energy without the need for mechanical components. This ...

Also plotted is the estimated efficiency of a thermoelectric converter. Note that the efficiency has been estimated from ZT using a simplified but optimistic method. The assumptions tend to ...

The thermoelectric converter prototype, developed by Toru Sugahara, 40, an associate professor of material research at Osaka University’s Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research ...

Scientists have presented a prototype thermoelectric generator that can help reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. This opens up new ...

A group of researchers from South Africa's Central University of Technology has designed a solar module integrating a cooling system relying on a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). TECs can convert heat ...

For optimal use, thermoelectric (TE) materials and modules must be adapted to the requirements of the system where they are integrated. Depending on the temperature range of the application, a ...

Combustion engines only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a ...
