1. Thermoelectric Generators : A comparison of electrical power outputs depending on temperature.
University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknikAbstract : Today many processes generate a lot of waste heat, for example industries or cars. One way to make this thermal energy useful is to transform it into electrical energy with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) or thermoelectric cooler (TEC). This technology is not used in any large scale today, but a lot of research is being done on the subject. READ MORE
