The Solid State Heat Capacity laser is an advance defense weapons system being built for the U.S. Army, designed to protect against incoming artillery shells, anti-tank missiles, and other ...

This is where solid-state relays (SSRs ... In my test I’m using it to control a 47W fan using 220VAC, 50Hz mains power. A heat sink was not judged necessary for this quick test, but I added ...

researchers are exploring innovative solid-state cooling alternatives. Among them, the electrocaloric (EC) effect stands out, offering a direct method to convert electricity into heat. Published ...

The Solid State and Materials Research Group has come up with a lithium-ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood ...

Peltier effect modules, also known as solid-state heat pumps, used to be exotic tech but are now quite common. They are actually the reverse of the Kelvin effect. Thermocouples exploit the Kelvin ...

Six Fraunhofer institutes are developing new electrocaloric heat pumps that use elastocaloric heat pipes instead of compressors to extract heat from the sources. The first pilot systems developed by ...

Highly efficient solid-state heat pumps without compressors – that is the vision of Fraunhofer researchers. With the recent completion of the ElKaWe research project, they took a big step towards ...
