Abstract
An apparatus can comprise a circuit and an electrical element coupled to the circuit. The circuit can include a pulse generator to generate an electrical pulse having a first power and a load. The electrical element can be configured to receive heat that is converted into electrical energy by the circuit to apply a second power, greater than the first power, to the load.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a circuit including:
- a pulse generator to generate an electrical pulse having a first power;
- and
- a load;
- and
- an electrical element coupled to the circuit;
- wherein the electrical element is configured to receive heat that is converted into electrical energy by the circuit to apply a second power, greater than the first power, to the load.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- generating an electrical pulse as an input to a circuit, wherein the circuit comprises a first portion including a load, and a second portion comprising an electrical element connected to the load;
- absorbing heat within the electrical element;
- converting the absorbed heat into electrical energy to increase a power of the electrical pulse;
- and
- applying the electrical pulse with increased power to the load.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a circuit including:
- a pulse generator to generate an electrical pulse;
- a primary oscillator coupled to the pulse generator;
- an electrical element coupled to the circuit;
- wherein the circuit is configured to supply the electrical pulse to a load with a greater power than the power supplied by the pulse generator.
