Most fuel in gas-powered vehicles is wasted as heat, but a new study reveals a way to convert this lost energy into ...

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

The heart of the system uses a Peltier cool, just like the thermoelectric solar generator. When there is a temperature differential from one side of the Peltier to the other a small current is ...

Such fans, which use Peltier devices to power a small electric ... and it reminds us a little of the woodstove generator we featured a while back.

"In our upcoming studies, we will be applying non-cuboid geometries to different thermoelectric systems, such as segmented ...

Neil Savage looks at thermoelectric coolers based on the Peltier effect that are designed for this task. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier coolers, are semiconductor devices ...

An international research team led by Australia's RMIT University has fabricated a prototype of a nanofluid-cooled thermoelectric generator (TEG) that uses photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) energy to ...
