  2. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    As the temperature rises, the device's electrical resistance increases causing greater parasitic generator self-heating. In motor vehicle applications a supplementary radiator is sometimes used for improved heat removal, though the use of an electric water pump to circulate a coolant adds parasitic loss to total generator output power.

    During the period from 1973 to 1983, however, significant research on advanced low-temperature thermionic converter technology for fossil-fueled industrial and commercial electric power production was conducted in the US, and continued until 1995 for possible space reactor and naval reactor applications.

  4. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    At the atomic scale, a temperature gradient causes charge carriers in the material to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side. This is due to charge carrier particles having higher mean velocities (and thus kinetic energy) at higher temperatures, leading them to migrate on average towards the colder side, in the process carrying heat across the material.

    A temperature sensitive resistor with a large, somewhat variable, temperature coefficient of resistance. thermocouple A junction of two dissimilar metals that generates voltage when at a temperature above absolute zero. thermoelectric effect The conversion between heat flow and current flow, and the reverse. thermostat A temperature sensing switch.

  6. Transfer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch

    It is necessary to isolate the generator from the distribution system to protect the generator from overload in powering loads in the house and for safety, as utility workers expect the lines to be dead. When utility power returns for a minimum time, the transfer switch will transfer the house back to utility power and command the generator to ...
