Thermoelectric cooling — uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to… … Wikipedia
thermoelectric power generator — Introduction any of a class of solid state devices (solid state device) that either convert heat directly into electricity or transform electrical energy into thermal power for heating or cooling. Such devices are based on thermoelectric… … Universalium
Thermoelectric effect — The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. On the measurement scale of everyday life, a thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each… … Wikipedia
Thermal management of electronic devices and systems — Heat generated by electronic devices and circuitry must be dissipated to improve reliability and prevent premature failure. Techniques for heat dissipation can include heatsinks and fans for air cooling, and other forms of computer cooling such… … Wikipedia
Thermocouple — plugged to a multimeter displaying room temperature in °C. A thermocouple is a device consisting of two different conductors (usually metal alloys) that produce a voltage proportional to a temperature difference between either end of the pair of… … Wikipedia
Atomic battery — The terms atomic battery, nuclear battery, tritium battery and radioisotope generator are used to describe a device which uses the emissions from a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like nuclear reactors they generate electricity from… … Wikipedia
energy conversion — ▪ technology Introduction the transformation of energy from forms provided by nature to forms that can be used by humans. Over the centuries a wide array of devices and systems has been developed for this purpose. Some of these energy … Universalium
Energy harvesting — (also known as Power harvesting or energy scavenging ) is the process by which energy is captured and stored. Frequently this term is applied when speaking about small autonomous devices, like those used in sensor networks. A variety of different … Wikipedia
thermocouple — /therr meuh kup euhl/, n. Physics. a device that consists of the junction of two dissimilar metallic conductors, as copper and iron, in which an electromotive force is induced when the conductors are maintained at different temperatures, the… … Universalium
Computer cooling — An OEM AMD heatsink mounted onto a motherboard. Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within their safe operating temperature limits. Various cooling methods help to improve… … Wikipedia
Diode — Figure 1: Closeup of a diode, showing the square shaped semiconductor crystal (black object on left) … Wikipedia
