Toward reliable thermoacoustic power generation: an efficient elastic-membrane-free U-tube liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic generator under acoustic driving

Thermoacoustically-driven liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic generators (LMHDGs) are attractive for reliable power generation in extreme environments. However, this advantage is fundamentally undermined by the common use of elastic membranes to stabilize the gas-liquid interface. E...

Overview and outlook of heat-driven oscillating systems for sustainable heating, cooling and power generation

As a class of promising micro- or small-scale energy conversion technologies, heat-driven oscillating systems have drawn growing attention in heating, cooling, and power generation, thanks to their high reliability and high efficiency, especially for the conversion of lower-grade...
