Thermoelectric generator using temperature differences in lunar soil
Keywords:
thermoelectric ground generator, Moon, designAbstract
The paper investigates the possibilities of creating a thermoelectric generator on the Moon. The temperature and thermal conditions in the lunar soil are analyzed. The specific power, weight and cost of such a generator are calculated. A thermoelectric generator and solar batteries are compared under the conditions of their use on the Moon.
