    Abstract: A current source and method of producing the current source are provided. The current source includes a metal source, a buffer layer, a filter and a collector. An electrical connection is provided to the metal layer and semiconductor layer and a magnetic field applier may be also provided. The source metal has localized states at a bottom of the conduction band and probability amplification. The interaction of the various layers produces a spontaneous current. The movement of charge across the current source produces a voltage, which rises until a balancing reverse current appears. If a load is connected to the current source, current flows through the load and power is dissipated. The energy for this comes from the thermal energy in the current source, and the device gets cooler.

    Abstract: A solar generator (10) can include a photon-enhanced thermionic emission generator (20) with a cathode (22) to receive solar radiation (70). The photon-enhanced thermionic emission generator (20) can include an anode (24) that in conjunction with the cathode (22) generates a first current (26) and waste heat (28) from the solar radiation (70). A supplemental heat source (52) can provide a supplemental heat. A thermoelectric generator (30) can be thermally coupled to the anode (24) and can convert the waste heat (28) from the anode (24) and the supplemental heat into a second current (36). A circuit can connect to the photon-enhanced thermionic emission generator (20) and to the thermoelectric generator (30) and can combine the first and the second currents (26, 36) into an output current (16).
