  • Abstract
    A nominal 14-watt solar thermoelectric generator utilizing thermal energy storage has been fabricated and tested. During operation, thermal energy was supplied to the unit for 55 minutes of each 90-minute cycle. The generator continued to supply electric power during the remaining 35-minutes utilizing the stored thermal energy. This cycle simulates a 300-mile earth orbit.
