Abstract

The previous chapters discussed the generation of mechanical motion from thermal energy and the subsequent conversion of this to electrical energy. The additional step from thermal to electrical energy can introduce further losses, reducing overall efficiency. In this chapter, the conversion of thermal energy directly to electrical energy is discussed.
