Abstract
A thermal management system for an object comprising: one or more thermoelectric elements, one or more light emitting sources, electricity transport medium; electrical energy storage, and a controller. Heat energy that is generated or absorbed by the object is converted by said thermoelectric element to electrical energy. This energy is transferred to light emitting source to emit the energy to the environment or delivered to the electrical energy storage or back to the thermoelectric elements using the electricity transport medium and the controller to achieve the thermal goal of the thermal management system.
Claims29
A thermal management system for an object comprising:
- (a) one or more thermoelectric elements;
- and
- (b) one or more light emitting sources,
- wherein a portion of the heat energy that is generated or absorbed by said object is converted by said thermoelectric elements to electrical energy, and the electrical energy is transferred to said light emitting sources which converts the electrical energy to light energy and emits the light energy to the environment.
A method for thermal management of an object comprising:
- generating electrical energy from heat energy that is generated or absorbed by said object using one or more thermoelectric elements;
- transferring said generated electrical energy to one or more light emitting sources;
- and
- emitting light energy by said one or more light emitting.
A capsule comprising:
- a top surface;
- a bottom surface;
- a case in-between the top surface and the bottom surface;
- one or more thermoelectric elements;
- and
- one or more light emitting sources,
- wherein the capsule is designed to stably float over a fluid in a way that the top surface is located over the fluid and the bottom surface is located under the fluid and using the difference between the temperature of the top surface and the bottom surface the thermoelectric elements is generating electrical energy and the electrical energy is transferred to the light emitting sources which convert the electrical energy to light energy and emits the light energy out of the capsule.
