SNAP-15A Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator

Magnetostatic Cleanliness of the Radioisotope Thermoelectric

Abstmcr. The Cassini spaceaaft , launched in October 1997 to reach Saturn in 2004, carries two magnetometer xperiments on a lo-meter boo”, one at the mid-section of the boom and the other at the end of the boom. In order to gather valid scientific magnetic field data and avoid electromagnetic nterference, the spacecraft had to comply with stringent magnetostatic cleanliness requirements. Amidst...

Multiphysics Simulations of a Thermoelectric Generator

Transient multiphysics simulations are performed to investigate the thermal and electric performance of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) module placed between hot and cold blocks. Effects of heat radiation, thermal and electric contact on the TEG are examined and the simulated results are compared with experimental data. The predicted temperature difference across the TEG module and the electri...

A MEMS Thermoelectric Generator by Samuel

The demand for portable power is large and expanding. Technologies currently available to meet this demand include batteries, fuel cells, thermophotovoltaic (TPV) generators and thermoelectric (TE) generators. Fuel cells and generators offer significantly improved performance over batteries, but issues of fuel processing and miniaturization remain. Microfabrication has the potential to address ...

Developmemnt of Flexible Thermoelectric Generator Using Fpcb

We proposed the flexible thermoelectric generator (TEG) using double side FPCB (flexible printed circuit boards). The proposed flexible thermoelectric generator has the unique vertical structure. The heat of the flexible thermoelectric generator flows vertically via plated through hole (PTH). The n-type (Bi-Te) and p-type (Sb-Te) thin films are deposited by the co-evaporator and patterned using...
