Manportable Thermoelectric Generator.

Abstract

The report describes the design, fabrication, and test of the 120 Watt Manportable Thermoelectric Generator (exploratory development model). This portable device is comprised of five functional subsystems: thermoelectric converter, liquid fuel burner, electronics circuitry, fuel system, and cooling system. Two experimental generators were built and evaluated. The test results show that the system operates on all liquid fuels, ranging from gasoline to diesel oil (DF-1) and that it has potential as a portable, 120-Watt, generator for Army field use.
