Johnson Thermoelectric EnergyConverter andApplication For Clean Energy Production

Abstract

Fossil fuel utilization efficiency has virtually reached its limit. Therefore use of waste heat energy is only
means of achieving further increase in energy use efficiency with this type of fuel.This work presents a study of Johnson’s
thermoelectric energy converter a type of heat engine which converts heat directly into electric power by decomposition
of hydrogen.The mechanism and factors considered for design of engine is explained .The Ericsson’s cycle used in
Johnson’s thermoelectric energy converter is also explained.This paper discusses the use of Johnson’s thermoelectric
energy converter as a clean energy production device. This paper also emphasizes on ambient heat engine, Johnson’s
thermoelectric cell used in cars, and use of Johnson’s thermoelectric energy converter for energy management.It also
discusses the trends of converting waste heat into electricity using Johnson’s thermoelectric energy converter.This paper
gives the outline of green energy production by use of jtec.
