Unmanned systems are increasingly adopted in various fields, becoming an indispensable
technology in daily life. Power systems are the lifeblood of unmanned systems, and affect …

Investigations using laboratory test benches are the most common way to find the
technological solutions that will increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines and …

Geothermal bore holes and steam pipes are often in remote locations where normal
powering methods for monitoring systems are difficult due to distance from the electrical grid …

This chapter presents an analysis of a point-of-use thermoelectric generator that is patented
by one of the authors. The design, implementation and performance of the generator for …

In Iceland there is a super abundance of waste hot water from geothermal power plants at a
temperature between 130-160 C. Some of this is re-purposed to heat cold water and is used …

Powering reliable telemetry and monitoring systems can be problematic when an electrical
grid is not available. Stand-alone battery systems need maintenance and replacement, and …

The authors have developed test beds heated green roofs in New York City and geothermal
heated gardens in Iceland using waste heat. A thermoelectric generator developed by the …

The authors have developed and patented a thermoelectric-based point of use power
system with no moving parts to produces 6 W of steady state power when attached to the …

Reliable telemetry and surveillance systems are essential for the geothermal industry. An
efficient power source for these systems would be the waste heat from the geothermal …

A small-scale thermoelectric generator (TEG) system produces a power of 1.43 W at a
temperature differential between the thermoelectric module (TEM) surfaces of 70.00° C. This …
