Abstract

The invention discloses a power generation mode using electronic one-way conduction characteristics. 'One-way conduction' refers to different hindrances encountered by electron flow in different conductive directions. Under thermal motion, electrons are accumulated at one end of the one-way conducting device, potential difference is formed between the electrons and the other end of the one-way conducting device, and the two ends can serve as a power source after being connected out. According to the power generation mode, the self temperature can be reduced in the external power generation process, and the refrigeration effect is achieved.

Description

(I) Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for converting thermal energy into electrical energy. (II) Background technology

[0002] Today's thermoelectric technology that relies on temperature difference can recover heat energy when there is a temperature difference. However, thermoelectric technology must maintain the temperature difference to continue to generate electricity, and maintaining the temperature difference requires the cold end to dissipate heat, which causes heat energy waste, so the conversion efficiency is low.

[0003] Today's non-temperature difference thermoelectric technology has complex ideas, extremely low power and high manufacturing costs. (III) Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention discloses a power generation method utilizing the unidirectional conduction characteristic of electrons.

[0005] In this article, "unidirectional conduction" means that the obstacles encountered by electron flow in different conductive directions are different.

[0006] Under the thermal motion of electrons, electrons will accumulate at one end of a unidirectional conductive device, forming an electric potential difference with the other end. By connecting these two ends, it can be used as a power source.

[0007] This power generation method will lower its own temperature during the external discharge process, has a cooling effect, and can be used for heat energy recovery. (IV) Description of the drawings

[0008] Figure 1 This is a structural example diagram.

[0009] 1-wire, 2-conductive material with weak electron confinement ability (positive electrode), 3-tunneling inhibition layer, 4-conductive material with strong electron confinement ability (negative electrode), 5-wire, 6-load.

[0010] 2, 3, and 4 together form a one-way conducting device microstructure.

[0011] 2, 3, and 4 are examples of solutions for implementing a one-way conductive device and are not intended to limit the present invention. (V) Specific implementation methods

[0012] The present invention is described below by way of examples, but is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, three different materials form a power generation structure. 2, 3, and 4 form a unidirectional conductive device. The power can be increased by connecting multiple power generation structures in series or in parallel.
