Diamond or Electricity

Diamond or Electricity


Strontium titanate is a material for making a synthetic jewel such as artificial diamond.

Nonetheless using this material, Japanese scientists have recently improved thermoelectric conversion for application of power generation.

The efficiency of thermoelectric conversion has been made twice higher than in a case of using conventional materials.

Solar batteries are a good example to get electricity without using large equipment. They convert the energy of light to electricity.

In thermoelectric conversion, difference in temperature between two locations on a piece of metal causes an electric current flow.

Without sun light, as long as you have a heat source, you can generate power for a device based on the natural law of thermoelectric conversion.

There are already a few products, such as a wrist watch, to which this technology is applied, though not so popular yet.

If heat caused by friction can be applied to a piece of metal to get current or voltage needed for an appliance, people just have to use their muscle to supply power to equipment such as an LCD TV, a mobile gear, a digital camera, and an electric bulb.

If you can use waste heat in a facility or a plant in an industry in a large scale, the thermoelectric conversion technology will provide non-nonsense electric power.

Jesus Christ said that we have to be more zealous or more unperturbed in our practice of faith (without bringing up awe of God's anger by way of excuse).

Indeed, with such a difference in a state of mind, a blue streak of lighting should run and work in and around one's presence, making the situation better and promoting improvement of a social atmosphere.

(Strontium titanate is reportedly 1000 times commoner in the nature than other materials so far used for conventional thermoelectric conversion.

It looks very hopeful for poor people and bona-fide or white investors.

Even a future U.S. President might mention it in his State of the Union message to Congress, one practice of which was broadcast live this morning in Japan and reported later widely with a focus on the approval rate of President George W. Bush as well as his greeting to the female House Speaker.)
