The phrase "heat engine" might trigger some bad memories from your introductory thermodynamics course. But don't worry, I am going to show you the coolest heat engine you could possibly image—the ...

Thermoelectric generator harvests renewable energy from the cold of space As effective as solar panels are, one of their major downsides is that they only produce power during the day, so excess ...

Thermoelectric generators, TEGs for short, convert ambient heat into electrical power. They enable maintenance-free, environmentally friendly, and autonomous power supply of the continuously growing ...

Engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed a new type of thermoelectric generator that produces an electric current through a temperature gradient. By ...

[Pabr] is trying to make dry ice the hard way by building a thermoelectric dry ice generator. The project is a well planned round trip through thermodynamics and ...

The LTC3107 from Linear Technology is a dc/dc converter that allows systems to switch between a battery cell and capacitor used to store harvested energy. The chip harvests energy from thermoelectric ...

Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) instead of steam, has ...

Thomas Onyango, 25, from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology has invented a charcoal ceramic jiko that converts unused heat energy to electricity. “This innovation was triggered by the ...

The world's first commercial supercritical carbon dioxide power generator started operations in Southwest China's Guizhou province recently, a significant milestone in the global transition toward ...
