Presentation Summary

  • Optimized thermal energy harvesters for water or air streams and solid surfaces to power applications with as little as 5 degree system temperature differences.
  • Thermal and electrical matching of system thermal resistances and electrical loads of the DC-DC converters results in cost effective, low couple count thermoelectric generators.
