Researchers in South Korea have analyzed the feasibility of using thermoelectric generators in combination with residential solar-assisted ground-source heat pumps and have found that the ...

[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 ...

We’re not exactly worried about Armageddon here at Hackaday, but should we end up facing the end of the world as we know it, having something to pass the time would be nice. That’s why we were ...

There are a number of thermoelectric (or thermal-electric) devices readily available for your designs. They fall into two categories. First, there are cooling devices; often used for fiber optic ...

We've already heard about hoses that get wrapped around existing hot water pipes, using heat radiated from the pipe to heat water inside the hose. A new wrap-around device, however, uses that same ...

Waste heat is everywhere: car engines, industrial machinery, kitchen appliances—even your own body. Some of that lost energy can be converted into electricity using thermoelectric generators: compact, ...

A thermoelectric generator, TEG, is a solid-state device that converts heat directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect. Thermoelectric generators consist of three ...

Concentrated thermoelectric generators convert solar energy to electricity, but historically their conversion efficiency has lagged behind their potential. Now, full system efficiencies of 7.4% are ...
