Angrist, S W

A comprehensive review of methods for direct energy conversion and energy storage is presented.Included are selected applications and brief reviews of underlying principles of each method. Principal chapter coverage is devoted to thermoelectric, photovoltaic, thermionic and magnetohydrodynamic generators. Other modes of energy conversion briefly covered are as follows: Nernst effect, ferroelectric, thermomagnetic, thermo-photo-voltaic, electrohydrodynamic, electrokinetic, piezoelectric, radiation, direct charging devices, secondary particle collection devices, and fusion power.
