Improved thermoelectric unit with electric input/output provision

摘要: A series of closely packed thermocouples formed into a torus (60) are held in compression against the Lorentz Force by dielectrically insulated tie strap (61). High current circulates through due to reduced electrical path length effected low-thermal-conductivity elements (64) and grooves (38) hot cold fins (66 65). Reduced heat transfer between 65) generates higher circulating current. Thermoelectric junctions preferably established coated layer(s) (67) dissimilar materials including bismuth, constantan, nickel, selenium, tellurium, silicon, germanium, antimony, nichrome, iron, cadmium, tungsten, gold, copper, zinc, silver. Operating as thermoelectric generator (40), power may be drawn from electric using either vibrating mechanical switch (70), Hall effect (140) or Colpits oscillator (159).
