Abstract:
A device for converting heat energy into electrical energy including cells, the cells including: a first cavity with one wall for contacting a heat source; a second cavity with one wall for contacting a cold source; a primary channel between the first cavity and the second cavity transporting a fluid as liquid drops, the primary channel providing transport of liquid fluid drops from the second cavity to the first cavity; at least one secondary channel between the first cavity and the second cavity transporting the fluid as a gas; a piezoelectric material provided in one of the cavities; and a fluid as a liquid and gas contained within the cell.
