Abstract
A circuit for generating electrical energy is disclosed. The circuit uses a pulse generator in combination with a conductor. Waste heat can be converted to usable energy due to a cooling effect of the circuit on the conductor. A resultant energy applied to a load is larger than the energy supplied by the pulse generator due to the absorption of external energy by the conductor.
Claims20
A circuit for generating electrical energy, comprising:
- a pulse generator for generating a continuous stream of pulses in a form of a square wave to maximize a change of voltage with respect to time (dV/dT);
- a conductor coupled to the pulse generator that is configured to cool in response to the continuous stream of pulses;
- a heat source placed adjacent to the conductor;
- and
- an output for receiving an electrical output emitted from the conductor.
