Thermal field emission converter of an environmental thermal (T #x223C;300k) energy #x2014; To electrical energy

摘要

New thermal field electron emission energy conversion method for vacuum electron systems with a nanostructured emission surface electron sources is offered and developed. By numerical modeling of an electron emission and transport processes for various nano-scale systems it is shown that the offered method permits to convert an environmental thermal (T 300K) energy — to electrical energy.
