  • Method and device for the generation of electricity directly from heat
    Patent number: 11968899
    Abstract: A method and device incorporating the use of Zinc Oxide to generate electrical power directly from heat, with minimal or no complex and inefficient mechanical interventions, by making advantageous use of the abundance and low cost of ZnO and its pyroelectric and thermoelectric properties. ZnO is used as a cheap, under-used material for the purpose of converting thermal energy (heat) directly into usable electricity with none or almost none of the mechanical conversion systems generally in use.
