Title:
DEVICE FOR DIRECT AND REVERSIBLE CONVERSION OF THERMAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/092113
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for the direct and reversible conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. The device contains an electrically conductive lattice fabric which is provided in at least some regions with an electrical insulation coating. The lattice fabric contains at least one thermoelectric system, by which a voltage gradient and thus a tappable potential difference are generated in the presence of a temperature gradient within the device. The invention further relates to a method for direct and reversible conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy and to applications for the device according to the invention.
