Tehotransistoreiden
Tehotransistoreiden, also known as thermoelectric transistors, are a type of electronic device that converts heat into electrical energy. They operate on the principle of the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference across a material generates a voltage. Tehotransistoreiden are composed of two different types of materials, typically semiconductors, that are connected in a circuit. When one side of the circuit is heated, electrons flow from the hot side to the cold side, creating an electric current.
These devices have several potential applications, including waste heat recovery in industrial processes, power generation in
However, the efficiency of tehotransistoreiden is currently limited by the materials used and the temperature difference
