“…25,29 Nowadays, because nearly all modern rotary VADs are electrically powered, the transfer of energy to the pump could conceivably be done with thermoelectric solid-state devices that convert thermal energy to electrical energy based on the Seebeck effect. 30 This technology could be remarkably less complex and more robust as compared with the mechanically complex Stirling 29 and Rankine 31 cycle-based engines of the past.…”
