Another day, another means of converting waste heat into something decidedly non-wasteful. This one comes to us from the folks at Cyclone, whose self-starting Waste Heat Engine can apparently be ...

Distributed generation (DG) can be configured in many different ways, with many kinds of technologies and equipment. Among the choices are gas turbines, reciprocating engine-generator sets, ...

A thermoelectric generator, TEG, is a solid-state device that converts heat directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect. Thermoelectric generators consist of three ...

Heat is animus. It was there at the birth of the universe, and its death will be the universe’s death. It is impossible to overstate its importance — both throughout human history and across modern ...

New thermionic generator overcomes the 'space-charge problem'. (Courtesy: J Mannhart/MPG) A new type of thermionic generator that turns heat or light into electrical energy has been developed by ...

Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT ...
