The main focus is on the capture of waste thermal energy for example from industrial processes, transport systems or the human body to generate useable electrical power.  A wide range of technologies is discussed, including external combustion heat cycles at MEMS ( Brayton, Stirling and Rankine), Thermoacoustic, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), Multiferroics, Thermionics, Pyroelectric, Seebeck, Alkali Metal Thermal, Hydride Heat Engine, Johnson Thermo Electrochemical Converters, and the Johnson Electric Heat Pipe. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in electrical and computer engineering. 606 $aWaste heat 606 $aMicroelectromechanical systems 615 0$aWaste heat. 615 0$aMicroelectromechanical systems. 676 $a333.79 676 $a670.286 700 $aPercy$b Steven$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0861064 702 $aKnight$b Chris$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMcGarry$b Scott$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPost$b Alex$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMoore$b Tim$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCavanagh$b Kate$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299495703321 996 $aThermal Energy Harvesting for Application at MEMS Scale$91921654 997 $aUNINA
