| abstract | The power generation and storage device includes a power generation device which is a current generator, which is placed in a temperature gradient between a heat source (32) and a heat-receiving region (34). heat. The generator comprises a first continuous material (12) having thermoelectric characteristics and a repetitive shape, one part of which extends between the source (32) and the receiver (34) and the other part (18) between the receiver and the source , as well as a second material having thermoelectric characteristics electrically connected with only one of said first or second part of the first material. A thermopile is thus formed (10) and plating techniques can be used to join the second material to the first material in the first or second repetitive portions of the first material. In this way, the thermopile (10) is formed from a repetitive series of thermocouples. The conductivities of the two materials are substantially equal. The conductors (60), (62) of another form of power generating device are connected to the thermocouple junctions (68) so that the junction areas are relatively large compared to the sections of the conductive elements. By providing large area thermocouple junction sections, a reduction in resistance and heat concentration is achieved, so that the resulting thermocouple and thermopile (10) can easily be used to collect solar energy so as to produce an electric current and a voltage in relation to the available solar energy. The energy storage is accomplished in such a way that the energy can be used with a thermoelectric generator in which thermopiles (34") are used. The solar energy source (30") irradiates the latent heat storage device (38") to allow heat to be stored at a relatively constant temperature to serve as a heat source. |
