Abstract
A compact power supply and battery substitute has a cylindrical wall with combustion air and cooling air fans at opposite ends. Air and fuel vapor flows through a mixing tube and an Omega recuperator to a combustion chamber and heats IR emitters spaced from TPV cells. An emitter post array or a catalytic matched emitter are heated by combustion. Exhaust is conducted through the recuperator that heats secondary air and fuel vapors and air in a mixing tube. Cooling air flows over fins radially extending from the TPV cells and past the recuperator and, mixes with exhaust from the recuperators and flows out of the housing past the combustion air fan. Fans are self-powered, and resulting electric power replaces batteries.
