چکیده
1 IEEEAC paper #1055, Updated November 15, 2002 0-7803-7651-X/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE Abstract—A technique for electrical power generation for planetary exploration applications using thermoelectric conversion of subsurface heat flows is described. Sufficiently shallow vehicles can exploit the diurnal temperature cycle as heat flows in and out of the soil the converter exploits the temperature gradient along the length of the vehicle. Proof-of-concept experiments are described using off-the-shelf thermoelectric CPU cooling plates as generators.
