Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is complimentary to Solar Photovoltaics but it operates at night and in cold climates TPV is ideal for small and large scale Combined Heat & Power and it uses natural gas TPV is lightweight and can be used as a... more
GaSb Cells and IR Power Beaming Lewis M. Fraas & Han Xiang Huang JX Crystals Inc, Issaquah, WA TPV-8, Palm Desert, CA November 2008 IR Power Beaming is an application where the system development is straight forward. Eye-safe IR... more
A novel TPV configuration will be presented that can fit into a standard home furnace cabinet. This system incorporates an externally faceted glass cylinder with a dichroic filter deposited on its outer surface and a GaSb IR cell array... more
Apuntes y reflexión sobre las competiciones en espeleología, actividad relativamente reciente y novedosa, como es la competición de TPV en espeleología, la Travesía en cueva y el Descenso deportivo de cañones.
Like batteries, thermophotovoltaic generators produce DC electricity quietly. TPV uses infrared photovoltaic cells to convert infrared radiation from a combustion heated ceramic IR emitter. However, because the specific energy in a... more
— Both solar cells and batteries generate quiet DC electric power. Infrared (IR) sensitive GaSb photovoltaic cells can convert energy from a combustion heated glowing ceramic IR emitter into electricity. The result is a lightweight... more
