Researchers from the Middle East have simulated a novel PV thermal module which includes a thermoelectric generator above the absorber layer, conical helical tape in the cooling tube and a ferrofluid.

Scientists in Iran have designed a CPV system that integrates a paraffin-based nanomaterials cooling system with fin, as well as thermoelectric generators that turns wast heat into electricity.

It’s not likely to be ICE’s saving grace, but it’s still pretty cool. For the past hundred years or so, internal combustion has ruled the road. But with EVs gradually stealing away the spotlight, it's ...
