termistöt
Termistöt is a Finnish term that translates to "thermoelectric generators." These devices are solid-state components that convert heat energy directly into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. Conversely, they can also convert electrical energy into a temperature difference, a process known as the Peltier effect, and are used as thermoelectric coolers.
The operation of a thermistöt relies on the Seebeck effect. When a temperature gradient is applied across
Common applications for thermistöt include waste heat recovery from industrial processes, automobiles, and even in space
