Profile
NASA's reach spans the universe. The rover Opportunity is still studying Mars after arriving with its twin Spirit in 2004. Cassini orbits around Saturn, as Juno makes its way to Jupiter. The Hubble Space Telescope continues to explore the deepest reaches of the cosmos. The crew of the International Space Station is extending the permanent human presence in space. Earth Science satellites are sending unprecedented data on Earth's oceans, climate and other features. NASA's aeronautics team is working with other government organizations, universities, and industry to fundamentally improve the air transportation experience and retain our nation's leadership in global aviation.

Military thermoelectrics

Thermoelectric energy harvesting is used in many military applications. In addition, it is used in the related area of generating energy on space vehicles in deep space where thermoelectric are ineffective, this being done by converting the heat of a radioactive material - the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator RTG.

Electricity produced from waste heat

Thermoelectric materials can generate electricity from waste heat which escapes through vehicle exhaust pipes, industrial equipment, and computer chips, but so far the materials have not been efficient and have been too expensive to be widely used.

Energy harvesting without batteries

Usually, dispensing with any form of battery can give even longer life, lower cost, smaller size, greater reliability, convenience, labour saving and reduced environmental problems.

More power from bumps in the road

Printed electronics is used in several forms of energy harvesting, so we thought we would share this dramatic opportunity with you although it is not yet clear what technology is involved. A shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road could save a company such as Wal-Mart $13 million a year in fuel costs by converting its fleet of trucks.

Self-healing electronics

It has been found that certain nanoparticles can be dispersed through a material and migrate to cracks so efficiently that self-healing composites, that repair themselves when damaged, can be envisaged.
