Here at MicroPower, we develop advanced thermoelectric products that convert heat from any source directly into electricity.

We do this at:

• high temperatures (250°C and above)
• high efficiency (5x standard thermoelectric devices)
• high energy density (300x solar panels)
• low cost ($0.03/kWh)

Generate power from any heat source: cook pots & industrial waste heat to fuel cells & power plants of the future.

The efficiency of our devices is five times greater than any other commercially available thermoelectric product.

Our proprietary methods in thermoelectric semiconductor growth enable power densities 300x greater than solar panels.

System design flexibility due to small, lightweight modules that can be integrated to fit applications of different sizes.

The thermoelectric effect describes the direct conversion of a temperature difference into electricity: apply heat to one side of a thermoelectric material while keeping the other side cold and an electric current will be generated.

Thermoelectrics has been restricted to niche applications for decades because of low efficiency (<5%), high cost and an upper temperature limit of 250°C. But MicroPower’s breakthroughs change all that.

Our technology is capable of operating in conjunction with new heat sources and processes designed for the future, such as solar-thermal energy, pyrolysis, fuel cells, nuclear power and LENR.

We are working closely with the US Army to deliver portable power devices for troops in the field, as well as high-efficiency thermoelectric applications for the US Navy & Special Forces.

Installing MicroPower modules in the base of a cooking pot means you can generate power while you boil water, delivering electricity and clean water to the millions of people without access to either.

Numerous industrial processes produce large quantities of heat that is wasted - some of this can be converted into electricity by using waste heat recovery systems based on our technology.

• Can be used inside combustion chambers or on hot surfaces
• Ideal for portable power generators and chargers, appliances, stoves and boilers, CHP generators, engine exhaust systems, waste heat recovery in industrial manufacturing processes
• Applications in military, consumer, commercial and industrial markets
• Readily available in 10 watt (PB10), 25 watt (PB25), 50 watt (PB50) and 100 watt (PB100) configurations, while customized & larger systems can be designed & manufactured upon request

• Can be used on open flames from a camp fire, charcoal or burners with a metal cup, or when cooking used as a cooling heat exchange mechanism
• Ideal for small to mid-size power generators and chargers
• Applications in military, consumer, commercial and humanitarian markets
• Readily available in 10 watt (PR10) and 20 watt (PR20) configurations, while customized & larger systems can be designed & manufactured upon request
