For off-grid renewable electricity, solar seems to make sense. Just throw some PV panels on the roof and you’re all set to stick it to the man, right? But the dirty little secret of the king of clean ...

Researchers developed an inexpensive large-scale flexible thermoelectric generator (FlexTEG) module with high mechanical reliability for highly efficient power generation. Through a change in ...

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 ...

Utilising the temperature difference between the hot and cold of the module to generate usable power, these thermoelectric generators offer output power from 5.4 up to 21.6 W in packages from 30 x 30 ...

There are a number of thermoelectric (or thermal-electric) devices readily available for your designs. They fall into two categories. First, there are cooling devices; often used for fiber optic ...

According to University of Washington-based startup JikoPower, approximately 80 percent of Kenyans have a cell phone, but only 20 percent of them have electricity. In some cases, this means that ...

The global automotive thermoelectric generator (ATEG) market is entering a decisive growth phase as vehicle manufacturers ...

It has been estimated that more than half of U.S. energy usage is wasted as heat — for instance, from vehicles and heavy equipment. Mostly, this waste heat simply escapes into the air. But that’s ...

This article appeared in Electronic Design and has been published here with permission. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and TE modules are attractive potential sources of harvested energy, but the ...

For the first time, a soft and stretchable organic thermoelectric module has been created that can harvest energy from body heat. The breakthrough was enabled by a new composite material that may have ...
