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 ...

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 ...

Researchers created a flexible thermoelectric generator using sponge-like carbon nanotubes to efficiently power small wearable sensors via heat harvesting. (Nanowerk News) A Korean research team has ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a new organic device that can harvest energy from heat. Unlike other thermoelectric generators, this one works at room temperature without a heat gradient. Usually, ...

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) use heat—or more accurately, temperature differences—and the well-known Seebeck effect to generate electricity. Their applications range from energy harvesting of ...

Researchers from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) in collaboration with an industrial partner elaborated thermoelectric generator of new generation, which is ten times ...

Researchers from India's Vellore Institute of Technology have developed an experimental system, coupling PV with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) and a graphite sheet as a heat dissipation element.

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel's potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study demonstrates how to convert exhaust ...

Drs. SuDong Park, Byungki Ryu, and Jaywan Chung of the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) developed a new thermoelectric efficiency formalism and a high-efficiency multistage ...

Schematic illustration showing the fabrication process of the CNT/BST foam with various shapes. Effects of the BST content and annealing temperature on TE properties of the CNT/BST foams. Highly ...
