Abstract: An example assembly includes an electrically conductive member, an electrically conductive mesh, and a crimp connector. The electrically conductive mesh includes a first area and a second area. The second area extends along a second longitudinal axis and is larger than the first area. The first area is twisted and extends from the second area along a first longitudinal axis that is transverse to the second longitudinal axis. One of the electrically conductive member and the twisted first area is twisted around the other of the electrically conductive member and the twisted first area to form a twisted connection. The crimp connector is crimped onto the twisted connection to form a crimped connection. The first area of the electrically conductive mesh, including the crimped connection, is folded onto the second area of the electrically conductive mesh.

Abstract: A system and method for generating electricity is provided, where the system includes at least one energy transmission element, such as at least one heat pipe or at least one thermosyphon, and at least one thermoelectric assembly extending around a portion of the at least one energy transmission element.

Abstract: A thermoelectric system is provided which includes at least one tubular conduit configured to be in thermal communication with at least one first fluid flowing through the at least one tubular coolant conduit in a first direction. A plurality of thermoelectric elements can be in thermal communication with the at least one tubular conduit. A heat exchanger in thermal communication with the plurality of thermoelectric elements is configured to be in thermal communication with at least one second fluid and to surround at least a portion of the tubular conduit and plurality of thermoelectric elements. The heat exchanger can include at least one coating configured to catalyze reactions of at least one portion of the second fluid.
