💡Thermoelectric Generator Capable of Generating Power at Any Time in the Range of 200°C to 800°C
Power generation output decreased to 1/3 as a result of converting a conventional water-cooled thermoelectric power generator to air-cooling.
So AIST developed a heat pipe system that enables high output power generation, increased the output of each thermoelectric element, and improved the cross-sectional area and arrangements of the elements.
Thus AIST has developed a practical air-cooled thermoelectric generator that is mass-producible.
