HIGH TEMPERATURE THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR.

Abstract

Degradation of module performance due to air oxidation of semiconducting elements has now been overcome by development of an appropriate sealing technique and use of 02 getters within the module. Some compression of the modules will be required to assure adequate heat flow at the hot junction. Design of the 300 watt prototype generator is complete and fabrication is in progress. All materials required are on hand. (Author)
