[Vo]:Re:Valone cited thermovoltaic cells as cheap energy devices

I see the equilibrium as being between electron / hole pairs made by IR photons from anywhere and the recombination of electron / hole pairs back into IR photons. If the energy of the electron / hole pairs goes into the electrical circuit then some thermal energy is converted into electrical e

[Vo]:Re: Valone cited thermovoltaic cells as cheap energy devices

Instead of IR photons being plentiful at a source and rare at a sink, I see events as the IR creating electron / hole pairs that are locally out of equilibrium and then pulled apart by the local crystal charge so the electrons are pulled to the N doped side and the holes to the P side as light

I listened to Tom Valone on C to C too. He mentioned that solar cells from Kyrocea in Japan http://www.kyocerasolar.com/ specifically but probably not exclusively produced energy from ambient IR at night. I believe this is a cheap energy source worth pursuing though a feeble search of kyocer
