Description

Direct Conversion of Energy

A flashlight battery supplies electricity without moving mechanical parts. It converts the chemical energy of its contents directly into electrical energy. Early direct conversion devices such as Voltas battery, developed in 1795, gave the scientists Ampere, Oersted, and Faraday their first experimental supplies of electricity. The lessons they learned about electrical energy and its intimate relation with magnetism spawned the mighty turboelectric energy converterssteam and hydroelectric turbineswhich power modern civilization. We have improved upon Voltas batteries and have come to rely on them as portable, usually small, power sources, but only recently has the challenge of nuclear power and space exploration focused our attention on new methods of direct conversion. To supply power for use in outer space and also at remote sites on earth, we need power sources that are reliable, light in weight, and capable of unattended Operation for long periods of time. Nuclear power plants using direct conversion techniques hold promise of surpassing conventional power sources in these attributes. In addition, the inherently 2 silent operation of direct conversion power plants is an important advantage for many military applications. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
