Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) — Heat to Electricity by Light, the Inverse of Cooling 2026-07-01

Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) converts heat directly into electricity: a hot emitter radiates a black-body spectrum onto bandgap-matched photovoltaic cells. It is the inverse of this K…

Heat Battery — Thermal Storage That Decouples Heat From Time 2026-07-01

A heat battery stores energy as high-temperature heat in cheap solid mass and releases it on demand, acting as the storage counterpart to heat-driven cooling. It firms up intermitt…
