New thermionic generator overcomes the 'space-charge problem'. (Courtesy: J Mannhart/MPG) A new type of thermionic generator that turns heat or light into electrical energy has been developed by ...
A Spanish-Italian research group has developed a solid-state thermal-to-electric energy converter based on hybrid thermionic-photovoltaics (TIPV) for different applications. It consists of a ...
GIBRALTAR, Iceland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2003--A hybrid electric automobile using thermionic devices to drive electric motors could provide an efficient and low cost alternative to current designs ...
Hot stuff: the prototype thermionic energy convertor in action. (Courtesy: Elsevier) Thermionic energy conversion – a technology first developed in the 1950s to power spacecraft – could soon be ...
(Nanowerk News) When scientists Daniel Riley and Jared Schwede left Stanford University last year to join Cyclotron Road, a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) program for ...
When a metal is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, electrons can be ejected out from the surface in a process known as the thermionic emission, a process that is similar to the evaporation of ...
Although thermionic emission in traditional materials, such as copper and silicon, has been well-explained by a theoretical model put forward by British physicist O. W. Richardson in 1901, exactly how ...
