Thermoelectric-Based Power System for Unmanned-Air-Vehicle/ Microair-Vehicle Applications

Thermoelectric-Based Power System for Unmanned-Air-Vehicle/ Microair-Vehicle Applications

Information on the development of a thermoelectric generator for use as an onboard power system in a microair vehicle is presented. The system converts waste heat into useful electric energy for propulsion, thus reducing the weight of the propulsion and fuel system.
