| 1. | These thermal gradients in turn may generate a voltage through the Seebeck effect.
|
| 2. | This relation expresses a subtle and fundamental connection between the Peltier and Seebeck effects.
|
| 3. | Peltier discovered the Peltier Seebeck effect ).
|
| 4. | This is known as the Seebeck effect.
|
| 5. | This is now called the Peltier Seebeck effect and is the basis of thermocouples and thermopiles.
|
| 6. | A thermocouple is a Seebeck effect.
|
| 7. | Similarly, thermocouples use the Peltier Seebeck effect to measure the temperature difference between two points.
|
| 8. | The Seebeck effect can be attributed to two things : charge-carrier diffusion and phonon drag.
|
| 9. | Thermoelectric generators operating on the Seebeck Effect show promise due to their total absence of moving parts.
|
| 10. | Since 1961, some unmanned spacecraft ( including the RTGs ) that convert thermal energy into electrical energy using the Seebeck effect.
