In past centuries, men have mainly looked to increase their production of energy in order to
develop their industry, means of transport and quality of life. Since the recent energy crisis …

To utilize heat from round shaped heat sources or heat sinks effectively, a segmented
annular thermoelectric generator was proposed. Each leg is composed of two materials with …

Nowadays, the use of wood for cooking and heating has become very popular, especially in
rural and suburban areas. Fireplaces and solid fuel stoves with heat accumulation provide …

Heat exchangers are essential to optimize the efficiency of Thermoelectric Generators
(TEGs), and heat pipes without fans have proven to be an advantageous design as it …

In the last centuries, men have mainly looked into increasing their production of energy in
order to develop their industry, their means of transport and their quality of life. Since the …

A water-cooled, stove-powered thermoelectric generator was designed and tested to
provide electricity in off-grid areas and under emergency conditions. An Ω-shaped heat …

The high temperatures of sea-floor hydrothermal vents make them good targets for the
exploitation of thermal energy. Taking advantage of this prospect, this study developed a …

Active cooling of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is problematic since mechanical devices
such as pumps and fans draw a high proportion of the limited power generated. Increasing …

The amount of energy that a thermoelectric generator (TEG) is capable of harvesting mainly
depends on the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the TEG. To …

In order to obtain electricity in off-grid areas and in emergency conditions (earthquake,
hurricane, tidal wave, military field, etc.), a prototype of stove-powered thermoelectric …
