Encapsulated Thermionic Energy Converter with Stiffened Suspension
This paper reports a prototype of a mechanically and thermally robust encapsulated microfabricated thermionic energy converter (μ-TEC). We used conformal sidewall deposition of poly-SiC to form stiff suspension legs with U-shaped cross sections, which increase the out-of-plane rigidity and prevent contact with the substrate during the heating of the suspended emitter—a qualitative improvement o...
متن کاملImproving the Efficiency of a Thermionic Energy Converter Using Dual Electric Fields and Electron Beaming
Experiments have been conducted on a dual electric grid thermionic device to investigate an alternative method of space charge mitigation in a thermionic energy convertor (TEC). Two electric grids, the attractor and deflector grids, provide opposing electric fields to overcome space charge while minimizing power losses to the attractor grid. Electron beams are formed in the electrode gap provid...
متن کاملA Highly Simplified Thermionic Control of Temperature.
Three recent articles (1, 2, 3) describe methods of heat control which seem unnecessarily complicated in view of the present technical development of control tubes in the radio industry. Those methods, just mentioned, use mechanical relays and have wiring schemes which, although not complicated to those acquainted with radio, are nevertheless too difficult for many people to construct. One of t...
متن کاملA Highly Integrated Adiabatic Energy Recovery Digital to Analog Converter
A low-power high-resolution digital input display architecture has been developed which is scaleable to larger display resolutions and grayscale resolutions. The architecture uses parallel sampled ramp DACs in a one-per-column configuration. Both adiabatic and energy recovery operation modes are incorporated for low power. This architecture allows the implementation of optimal drive schemes whi...
متن کاملSolid-State and Vacuum Thermionic Energy Conversion
A brief overview of the research activities at the Thermionic Energy Conversion (TEC) Center is given. The goal is to achieve direct thermal to electric energy conversion with >20% efficiency and >1W/cm power density at a hot side temperature of 300-650C. Thermionic emission in both vacuum and solid-state devices is investigated. In the case of solid-state devices, hot electron filtering using ...
