Abstract
The thermoelectric converter of field-effect transistor type, based on metal–dielectric–semiconductor–metal (MDSM) structures, is proposed, in which a thermal energy transforms into the potential energy of a charged gate capacitor. Experiments with field-effect transistors in a circuit with diodes were performed upon the action on the circuit a sinusoidal electric signal with bias. The excess of the power, released to the elements of the circuit, over the power consumption by tens of percents was obtained, which in a whole confirms the correctness of the proposed concept of the conversion of heat into electricity.
