摘要:
An electromagnetic energy collection device is provided which does not require a solar tracking capability. It includes an energy receiver positioned between two side walls which reflect substantially all incident energy received over a predetermined included angle directly onto the energy receiver.

HEAT SHIELD WHICH PREVENTS HEAT FROM RADIATING FROM THE SOURCE (HOT JUNCTION) TO THE CONTAINER (COLD JUNCTION) AND ALSO MAINTAINS THE VACUUM WITHIN THE CONTAINER. THE WALL OF THE CONTAINER IS COMPOSED OF TITANIUM WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH HUMAN TISSUE AND IS REJECTED BY THE BODY.
A HEART PACER IS DISCLOSED WHICH HAS A LONG LIFE (10 OR 11 YEARS) AS COMPARED TO PRIOR-ART PACERS (2 OR 3 YEARS). THIS PACER INCLUDES AN EVACUATED CONTAINER WITHIN WHICH THERE IS A LONG-LIFE RADIOACTIVE HEAT SOURCE. A THERMOELECTRIC TAPE IS WRAPPED AROUND THE SOURCE AND HAS ITS HOT JUNCTION AT THE SOURCE AND ITS COLD JUNCTION AT THE WALL OF THE CONTAINER. THE TAPE INCLUDES A GETTERING

A THERMOELECTRIC MODULE CONSTRUCTION COMPRISING A FIRST ROW OF BLOCKS MADE OF SEMI-CONDUCTIVE P-TYPE MATERIAL AND A SECOND ROW OF BLOCKS MADE OF SEMI-CONDUCTIVE N-TYPE MATERIAL PARALLEL TO THE FIRST ROW, WITH THE BLOCKS IN THE FIRST ROW LOCATED DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THOSE IN THE SECOND ROW. ONE END OF EACH BLOCK IN THE FIRST ROW IS JOINED BY A CONDUCTOR TO A CORRESPONDING END OF A BLOCK DIRECTLY OPPOSITE IN THE SECOND ROW. AN OPPOSITE END OF EACH BLOCK IN THE FIRST ROW IS JOINED BY A CONDUCTOR TO A CORRESPONDING OPPOSITE END OF A BLOCK DIAGONALLY OPPOSITE IN THE SECOND ROW.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a new thermoelectric generator, the operation of which is due to a new effect that takes place in a closed chain uniformly heated at an optimum temperature, the chain consisting of a semi-conductor comprises between two different metals the difference of the work-function of which are related to the value of the optimum temperature quantitatively, through a certain formula given in the specification. For maximum electric power delivered, the concentration of the holes into the semiconductor must be of the order of 10.sup.18 n/cm.sup.3, and the concentration of electrons into the same of the order of 10.sup.8 n/cm.sup.3, at 20.degree. C. Such a chain has in the absence of any temperature gradient, an efficiency near unity.

摘要:
A thermoelectric generator comprising a thermoelectric module, means for burning fuel and supplying heat to the module, a cooling system including a hollow radiator filled with cooling liquid and a cooling jacket embracing the module and connected to the radiator by inlet and an outlet pipes, the jacket being inclined towards the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe having at least one ascending portion, whereby a pressure differential is established that is required for the liquid circulation in the cooling system.
摘要:
The method and apparatus for pumping liquid and compressing a gas which includes the utilization of a pump, a compressor and a reservoir with the liquid and gas circuits being interconnected so that the pump handles a two-phase fluid for delivery to the reservoir with the two-phase fluid consisting of liquid from a supply and gas and liquid fed back from the reservoir to maintain a liquid level therein. Gas is fed to the compressor from a supply and also selectively from the area of reservoir above said liquid level to maintain a selected gas pressure therein and liquid and gas from the compressor are separated with the liquid being fed back to the pump.

1. A thermoelectric module adapted to be fixed to a heated body, said module comprising (a) a first equalizer sheet of metal, (b) an electrical insulating wafer having opposite metallized sides, one of said metallized sides being brazed to one of the sides of said first equalizer sheet, (c) a second equalizer sheet of metal having substantially the same coefficient of expansion as said first equalizer sheet and having one side brazed to the other of said metallized sides of said wafer, (d) a hot-junction connecting member having one side brazed to the other side of said second equalizer sheet, (e) a thermoelectric element having hot and cold junction shoes, (f) means bonding said hot junction shoe of said thermoelectric element to the other side of aid hot-junction connecting member, (g) a cold-junction connecting member, and (h) means bonding one side of said cold-junction connecting member to said cold junction shoe of said thermoelectric element.
摘要:
the hot heat exchangers of a plurality of p and n conductivity thermoelement legs positioned between hot and cold heat exchangers are housed in a combustion chamber and are heatable by combustion gases in the chamber. An exhaust duct for the combustion chamber is coupled thereto in a manner whereby the flow direction of the combustion gases in the combustion chamber is reversed and at least part of the combustion gases again flows over the hot heat exchangers.
