Researchers Develop More Efficient Thermocells for Low-Grade Waste Heat Recovery

Green Car Congress

Research on utilizing low-grade heat from sources such as industrial waste streams, geothermal activity, and solar heating has focused on using solid-state thermoelectrics and Stirling engines to harvest low-grade waste heat as electrical energy. In fact, it was previously predicted that a power conversion efficiency of 1.2%

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 Launched in 2021, the company has designed a lead-cooled reactor that aims to produce its own fuel by recycling the by-products of conventional reactors, “offering a circular solution to nuclear waste,” he says. How is it arranged? How do I refuel?
