Evacuated Tube Solar Adsorption Heat Pump and Desalination System
Background Non-concentrated solar thermal energy systems have struggled to be extensively deployed, especially in hot climate areas where they are mainly used for space heating and domestic hot water. Since cooling demand increases with solar radiation, integration of both systems may be ideal. Unlike thermally driven absorption heat pump systems, adsorption...

Sustainable Self-Cooling for CPU Hot Spots Using Thermoelectric Materials
One stumbling block to improved performance growth for modern processor architectures is the double-edged sword of power consumption and heat generation. As computing chips become more powerful, increased levels of energy are wasted as heat dissipates off of them. Heat loss is not uniform. Certain areas on a chip have higher average temperatures than...

Power-Generating Thermogalvanic Bricks
Background Buildings account for approximately 40% of all energy consumed, with ever-increasing demand from new embedded electronic devices. Meeting these energy requirements involves consideration of both practical and environmental concerns. Modern solar arrays, for example, can offer an independent, off-grid power source that can be well suited...
