AUTONOMOUS HEAT CONDUCTOR,
Abstract
The possibility is examined of creation of a new local autonomous heat conductor for intense transmission of heat from a thermal source to a thermal receiver at a great distance. The heat conductor consists of two series-connected thermal resistors between thermal source and drain: a long hollow rod filled with an electrically conductive heat-transfer agent, and a short electricity generating thermal resistor, for example, a layer of thermoelectric semiconductor material. The generated thermoelectric currents pass through the heat-transfer agent, and their interaction among themselves or with an external magnetic field ensures directed circulation of the heat-transfer agent in the closed cavity of the heat conductor. It is shown that if the parameter of required heat transfer - the difference of temperatures between thermal source and receiver, referred to the root of the relative length of the heat conductor in diameters - is larger than one degree, the autonomous heat conductor provides higher intensity of heat transfer than the conductive type, employing copper or other rods.
