Abstract
An application of low-temperature and solid-state pyroelectric energy converter for converting heat produced from low-temperature operations into electric energy, which utilizes man-made waste heat or waste heat from natural environments for producing changes in materials of specific lattice structures, so as to result potential difference caused anisotropy displacement of centers of positive charges and negative charges along directions of polar axes of the lattices, thereby converting heat energy into electric energy. The application is entirely implemented in an environment having a heat source, and thermal energy is continuously converted into electric energy. Therefore, in order to accomplish energy recycling and energy assisting purposes, the application can be extensively applied in appliances or equipments that produce waste thermal energy. In addition, the application can be expanded with respect to size and range to further replace assistant generator applications such as conventional mechanical/electrical generator.
