  • Self-heated enclosure with carbon fiber
    Patent number: 9829203
    Abstract: Provided is a self-heated enclosure with carbon fiber. An example system can comprise an enclosure defining an interior chamber. The system can comprise at least one electrically conductive carbon fiber member configured in relation to the enclosure to provide a thermal output to the interior chamber when a voltage is applied to the at least one electrically conductive carbon fiber member. The system can further comprise a power source electrically coupled to the at least one electrically conductive carbon fiber member. The power source can be configured to selectively apply the voltage to the at least one electrically conductive carbon fiber member.
