Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Ohio State University researchers show in a new study that a single material, a layered crystal consisting of the elements rhenium and silicon, turns out to be the gold standard of transverse thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric power generators that make electrical power from waste heat would be a useful tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions […]

City University of London researchers have explored a novel organic Rankine system for converting waste heat into electricity. Dr Martin White at the City University of London recently published research, appeared in Applied Thermal Engineering, explores a novel organic Rankine cycle system, based on a two-phase expansion through numerical simulations of the system. The paper, […]

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 […]

New Antennae Harvests Lost Heat Energy
July 12, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Sandia National Laboratory researchers have developed a tiny silicon-based device that can harness what was previously called waste heat and turn it into DC power. The rectenna, short for rectifying antenna, is made of common aluminum, silicon and silicon dioxide using standard processes from the integrated circuit industry. Converting electrical power to heat is easy. […]
