A thermoelectric generator from Nextreme can be embedded into implantable devices to provide localized temperature control for medical therapy. A miniature, thin-film thermoelectric generator (TEG) ...

Power plants waste huge amounts of energy as heat—about 40 to 80 percent of the total in the fuel they burn. A new device could reduce that waste, cutting fuel consumption and carbon emissions by as ...

From wearable technology to industrial heat recovery, thermoelectric generators which convert waste heat into electricity ...

Recent breakthroughs in thermoelectric technology are opening new possibilities for converting waste heat into usable electricity. PyroDelta Energy has developed a capillary casting method to create ...

A thermoelectric generator with a shape that no human designer would likely have imagined has now been created by a ...

PyroDelta Energy has unveiled a new manufacturing method for bismuth telluride thermoelectric generators that can be integrated into liquid cooling systems to convert waste heat into electricity.

Harnessing heat generated by a device itself, microscopic silicon structures could lead to more energy-efficient thermal ...

Dallas’ Southern Methodist University is now recycling energy with one of the first commercial electricity generators that use thermoelectricity—the act of drawing power from waste heat. The machine ...

Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and T?hoku University in Japan have now come much closer to their goal of ...

(Nanowerk News) Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Tohoku University in Japan have now come much closer to ...

Fuel- and emission-free generators convert low-grade waste heat from diesel generators into power. In 2014, three organic Rankine cycle (ORC) generators were installed to turn the waste heat from ...

A U.S.-Italian research group has fabricated a hybrid thermoelectric photovoltaic (HTEPV) system that is able to recover waste heat from its solar cell and use it to generate additional power output.
