Abstract:Providing electricity for isolated areas or emergencies (snowstorms, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.) is an important challenge. In this study, a prototype of a self-powered fan based on a thermoelectric system was built to enhance the heat dissipation of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) systems using household stoves as heat sources. To improve output performance of the system, a heat collector consisting of a heat-conducting flat plate and a heat sink with fan cooling was designed to integrate several thermo… Show more
