The Power Source of the Future: Thermoelectric Energy Harvesters
NASA’s Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC) awarded Celik scholarship money for two undergraduate students to investigate the additive manufacturing – more commonly known as 3-D printing – of thermoelectric modules and generators. “3-D printing of thermoelectric generators allows us to fabricate and print all the complex structures of the generator – semiconductors, ceramics, etc. – using the same tool, which decreases the time and cost it takes to create a generator,” Celik explains.
