Abstract: A thermal electric power generation apparatus (100) has an electron emitting member (2) that emits electrons (e) when heat is applied to the member and electron collecting member (3) that collects electrons emitted from the electron emitting member. In the apparatus, the electron collecting member works as the negative electrode and the electron emitting member as the positive electrode. The apparatus generates electric power by causing electrons to move from the electron collecting member. The apparatus is provided on a motor vehicle (200, 300) with a thermal electric power generation apparatus at a position to which heat based on the heat produced by an engine (50) is transmitted, and electric power generated by the thermal electric power generation apparatus is supplied to the vehicle.

Abstract: A solar energy converter includes: a light-concentrating instrument; an electron emitter in an insulated vacuum vessel, emitting electrons in a vacuum as a temperature rises by sunlight; an electron accelerator within the light-concentrating instrument; a cathode on a surface of the electron emitter opposite to a surface which is irradiated by sunlight, and electrically connected with the electron emitter; an electric field supplier having a positive terminal and a negative terminal; and an electron collector in the vacuum vessel, collecting the emitted electrons flying from the electron emitter toward the electron accelerator; wherein the electron accelerator is connected with the positive terminal and the cathode is connected with the negative terminal to generate an electric field, and the electron collector is used as a negative generator electrode and the cathode is used as a positive generator electrode in which the collected electrons migrate to the electron emitter to generate electricity.

Abstract: Vacuum diode-based devices, including vacuum diode heat pumps and vacuum thermionic generators, are described in which the electrodes are coated with an electride (11, 12). These materials have low work functions, which means that contact potential difference between cathode (1) and anode (2) may be set against the effects of space charge, resulting in an improved device whereby anode (2) and cathode (1) may be set at a greater distance from each other than has been previously envisaged.
