Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A thermoelectric power generator for an aircraft including a heat source or hot air exhaust air flow (30), characterized as providing thermal energy, at least one thermoelectric module (32), including a plurality of thermoelectric elements, positioned in communication with the heat source, and a heat extractor, or a cool air flow (18), positioned in communication with the thermoelectric module so that thermal energy flows through the thermoelectric elements thereby generating electrical power. The thermoelectric module is typically comprised of silicon, boron carbide, a silicon/germanium alloy, geranium, or skutterudite which optionally includes a quantum well structure.
