A research project developing technology to convert radiative sky cooling into renewable electricity at night. The project includes a prototype device and research published in the journal Joule.

Collaborative development of thermoelectric systems to capture waste heat from vehicle engines and convert it to electrical energy for improved fuel economy.

Consumer applications including sensory wristbands, clothing, and athletic apparel that monitor vitals such as heart rate and body temperature using thermoelectric power generation.

An experimental device consisting of a black-painted aluminum disk mounted on a roof that captures heat radiating into space and converts it into electricity using a thermoelectric generator. The prototype produced 25 milliwatts per square meter and was built for less than $30.

A low-emission and low-fuel-consumption hybrid vehicle equipped with hydrogen fuel cells and thermal capture technology. It is designed to reduce pollution and offer an alternative to traditional vehicles.
