thermoelectric

In case that's insufficient, then the thermoelectric power plants can be started, hopefully running on natural gas or biodiesel.

Adding a thermoelectric generator is a possibility -- the power requirement is certainly met -- but it adds significant complexity.

An engineer today would likely make use of the thermoelectric effect to generate heat through electricity.

The lander should have been powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), not solar panels.

The simplest reactors are just lumps of radioactive material carefully bonded to thermoelectric devices!

I'm guessing that an thermoelectric intercooler doesn't provide as much improvement but it would be fun to have both working together.

I've been thinking about using a thermoelectric generator in my off-grid cabin to make up for the lack of solar in the winter.

Though not terribly efficient, we could certainly use thermoelectric generators like Peltier junctions to pull energy out of the waste heat in car exhaust.

Could do some cool stuff with a coffee cup that could generate the electricity from the thermoelectric effect[1] to light up and display the temperature of the coffee.

A satellite typically uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

Nuclear 'batteries' are radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs).

It appears to be largely political issues that prevented this mission from using a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator, which would have eliminated this particular problem since solar panels would not be required.

Linked for that article is "Thermoelectric Material to Hit Market Later This Year" [0] Which is interesting.

Thermoelectric power plants also release harmful gases into the atmosphere for as long as they are operating.
