How thermoelectric materials harvest energy from heat
In short: This lecture explores the ThermoMag project, an ESA-coordinated initiative focused on developing advanced materials capable of converting thermal energy into usable electricity.
The video features Anastasiia Prytuliak, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute Laue Langevin and the European Radiation Synchrotron Facility in Grenoble, France. She discusses the ThermoMag project, which is co-funded by the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme.
The presentation covers the fundamental principles of thermoelectricity, including the Seebeck, Peltier, and Thompson effects. It examines how thermoelectric devices function through heat conduction and cooling to facilitate power generation and various practical applications.
