An experimentator has used waste heat of his body to turn humans into batteries. Nick Zetta, who runs Basically Homeless YouTube channel, turned himself into a battery using thermoelectric generators.

The No. 1 nuisance with smartphones and smartwatches is that we need to charge them every day. As warm-blooded creatures, however, we generate heat all the time, and that heat can be converted into ...

A groundbreaking technology has been unveiled that improves the efficiency of thermoelectric materials, which are key in converting waste heat into electricity, by altering their geometry to resemble ...

Thermoelectric generator harvests renewable energy from the cold of space As effective as solar panels are, one of their major downsides is that they only produce power during the day, so excess ...

Researchers from India's Shoolini University have conducted a field experiment to analyze the effect of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and water cooling on the temperatures of PV modules.

If you want to convert heat into electrical power, it’s hard to find a simpler method than a thermoelectric generator. The Seebeck effect means that the junction of two dissimilar conductors will ...

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 ...

Figure a shows the eight different geometries designed in this study and the optimization of 3D printing and heat treatment processes to create high-density dislocation defects. Figure b illustrates ...
