ANN ARBOR, Michigan, May 23 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
Thermophotovoltaics developed at U-M can recover significantly more energy stored in heat batteries
To measure the power produced by his photovoltaic cells, Roy-Layinde holds a heat source held over the photovoltaic cell, which emits the infrared radiation that the cell converts into electricity. Wires connected to the photovoltaic cell run the electricity to a sensor that reads the vol . . .
