  • Production of Thick-Film Thermoelectric Devices Using Centrifugal Force - One step forward to realization of high-efficiency thermoelectric devices -
  • A thermoelectric generation device comprising thick films is characterized by its ability to function as a cooling fin and keep a sufficient temperature difference for thermoelectric generation even by natural cooling, and the ability to be applied to curved structure such as exhaust pipes. The newly developed centrifugally pressurized solidification not only produces thermoelectric thick films close to a single crystal but also simplifies the manufacturing process drastically and increases the yield dramatically as compared to the conventional method.

  • Reclaim even a small amount of that lost heat as electricity, and that would massively boost energy efficiency. Thermoelectric materials allow us to do just that, by coaxing a current from a temperature difference. Wrap a thermoelectric substance around your car's exhaust, and its waste heat could power the electrics. Incorporate thermoelectric elements into a refrigerator, and heat extracted from its interior could power it

  • Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy
  • What's the key to using alternative energy, like solar and wind? Storage -- so we can have power on tap even when the sun's not out and the wind's not blowing. In this accessible, inspiring talk, Donald Sadoway takes to the blackboard to show us the future of large-scale batteries that store renewable energy. As he says: "We need to think about the problem differently. We need to think big. We need to think cheap." Donald S

This technology seems to me to be much more beneficial on a local scale, what if every home had its own battery, then home power generation becomes economically more viable for everyone. If you could show that a system like this could pay for itself in say 5 years then every home would want one. Plus for this to be implemented on a large scale requires massive investment that could be decades away. Share the technology and lets get it in homes by next year. Great ted talk. Jon Senior 0 Reply 1 hour ago: I agree 100%. Localised energy production would also make energy consumers more conscious of their consumption and encourage efforts to reduce it. We can invent and invent all we want, but the fast solution to allowing renewable energies to take centre stage is to reduce the base energy draw. With lower baseline consumption, smaller "always on" generators are required to keep the grid operational. Town and house-l

    The new material is most effective between 450° and 950°F-a typical \ntemperature range for power systems such as automobile engines. The application \nof TE material to automotive waste heat recovery systems is of interest to the \nresearch team, and to one of the project funders, BSST Corporation.

    Thermoelectric bracelet that helps people maintain a comfortable body temperature takes home $10,000 from MIT's annual materials-science design competition. The "watch" part of the prototype actually consists of the team's custom copper-alloy-based heat sink (a component that lowers a device's temperature by dissipating heat). Attached is an automated control system that manages the intensity and duration of the thermal pulses delivered to the heat sink. Integrated thermometers also measure external and body temperature to adjust accordingly.

    "Decreasing the power needed to run a vehicle's operating system could reduce battery and alternator weight and perhaps eliminate some power-generating equipment, trimming vehicle size and weight."
