(Nanowerk News) Through a process known as thermionic conversion, heat energy -- such as light from the sun or heat from burned fossil fuels -- can be converted into electricity with very high ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. The basic operating ...

Arxiv – Thermionics (electronics for converting heat to electricity) previously had efficiency limitations due to “space current” – build-ups of electrons mutually repelling each other and choking the ...

If you often lose power where you live, whether because of seasonal storms such as hurricanes or due to other problems with the electrical grid, having a whole-house generator can be very convenient.
