Harnessing waste heat and reducing wasted lighting : three mechanical structures for efficient energy systems
… thermoelectric wafer, which could be powered by waste heat. We are able to achieve brushes and bearings with electrical resistance as low as 70 m[Omega] and friction torque under 300 ,/N.m to demonstrate a proof-of-concept test setup. The demonstrated electromotive force constant is 82 V/rad/s …

Effect of phonon transport on the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity of silicon nanowire arrays
Thermoelectrics enable solid-state conversion of heat to electricity by the Seebeck effect, but must provide scalable and cost-effective technology for practical waste heat harvesting. This dissertation explores the thermoelectric properties of electrochemically etched silicon nanowires through …

Nanometer-thick oxide films for pyroelectric energy conversion
… polarization in crystalline materials to convert waste heat into electricity. High-power-density thermal-to-electrical energy conversion is possible using pyroelectric thin films which allow fast thermal cycling and high electric fields. Published studies, however, have not investigated …
