Electronic Carnot Engine (ECE)

ECE is an external combustion thermal engine with no moving parts.

Through thermal cycles of free-electrons in metal or semiconductor, ECE converts thermal energy directly into electricity in high efficiency.

Potential applications of ECE can be:

1. Range extender for electric vehicles (EV).

2. Concentrated solar thermal or nuclear thermal mega power generator.
