1thermoelectric 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… …
2Thermoelectric 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… …
3Automotive Thermoelectric Generators — (ATEG) are devices utilizes the Seebeck effect to recover lost heat in an internal combustion engine powered vehicle. A typical ATEG consists of four main elements: A hot side heat exchanger, a cold side heat exchanger, thermoelectric materials,… …
4Radioisotope thermoelectric generator — A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG) is an electrical generator which obtains its power from radioactive decay. In such a device, the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material is converted into electricity by… …
5List of electric power companies in Greece — This is a list of every electric power company currently producing electrical energy in Greece as of March 2007.Public Power Corporation (ΔΕΗ)The PPC S.A. (ΔΕΗ) is the biggest electric power company in Greece. It owns and operates 34 major… …
6Systems Nuclear Auxiliary Power Program — The Systems Nuclear Auxiliary Power Program (SNAP) was a program of experimental radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and space nuclear reactors flown during the 1960s by NASA. Odd numbered SNAPs were RTG tests and even numbered SNAPs… …
7Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
8Nuclear power debate — For nuclear energy policies by nation, see Nuclear energy policy. For public protests about nuclear power, see Anti nuclear movement. Three of the reactors at Fukushima I overheated, causing meltdowns that eventually led to hydrogen explosions,… …
9Nuclear power — Atomic Power redirects here. For the film, see Atomic Power (film). This article is about the power source. For nation states that are nuclear powers, see List of states with nuclear weapons …
10Economics of new nuclear power plants — The economics of new nuclear power plants is a controversial subject, since there are diverging views on this topic, and multi billion dollar investments ride on the choice of an energy source. Nuclear power plants typically have high capital… …
