Electrostatic Mechanical Generators: With Diagram | Energy Management

In this article we will discuss about the working of electrostatic mechanical generators with the help of a suitable diagram. Electrostatic mechanical generators convert mechanical energy, usually mechanical potential energy of a fluid, directly into electrical energy. Fig. 9.27 shows the principle of working of liquid drop electrostatic mechanical generator. In this, the gravitational potential energy of water droplets is [...]

Thermoelectric Effects in Thermodynamic Conversion of Heat

The various thermoelectric effects in relation to thermodynamic conversion of heat to work are as follows: 1. Seebeck Effect 2. Peltier Effect 3. Thomson Effect 4.Joule Effect.     1. Seebeck Effect: If two dissimilar materials are joined to form a loop and two junctions maintained at different temperatures, an e.m.f. will be set up around the loop. The magnitude of current [...]
