The thermocell contained a material that exhibited a phase transition from one arrangement of atoms to another when heated to 50° C (122° F).. The phase transition caused the output voltage of the thermocell to […]

Dawn Of The Thermo Cell

March 2, 2010 | 4 Comments

A thermocell is a device that captures heat energy and converts it to electricity, an idea with the potential of doubling or tripling the available power supply if applied to the various thermal heat engines that are used to generate electricity.  Success at high efficiency, scale and price would have a dramatic effect of power […]
