I am a non-scientific type, with a background in information services (librarianship). I am trying to learn about this field of knowledge so that I might be able to find work with a TE company. Would appreciate reccommendations on literature that will give a good layman's background. Please contact me if you can help. DarrylLots of great information

Do you have any interest in joining a network of not-for-profit environmentalorganizations developing a clean energy index? If so, we are trying to link as many as wecan. My name is Howard Konicov, the network is called A4EC, and I am the ExecutiveDirector of a small environmental 501(c)(3) called the Synthesis Foundation. Also I am analumni of IU's School of Public and Environmental Affairs. There is no cost involved tojoining, just a growing number of environmentalists with a good idea and a vision to makeour energy dollars count for something. Thank you for your time, Howard Konicovnetworking@synthesisfoundation.org ps: we have some information at www.impactonline.orgunder the heading "The Synthesis Foundation" under environmental organizations,our in house web site is still under development.

I have used successfully thermoelectric materials at ambient temperature to developa new temperature control method (Inertially Stabilised Thermoelectric Calorimeter. - J LHemmerich, L Serio, P Milverton - UK and international patent)capable of achie vingtemperature stability of the order of 1 microK/h. With these temperature stability we wereable to accurately measure thermal energy (i.e. few hundred nanoW). I would like to applythis method at cryogenic temperatures (i.e. 70 to 4.5 K). At these te mperatures I havefew ideas on possible technological applications but unfortunately I do not have found yeta thermoelectric materials capable of providing the same efficiency than at ambienttemperature (or at least not few order of magnitude less).

X 30 mm length shell, and releases some 3 milijoulesin a few miliseconds, when heated to some 1,000 Celsius degrees. After this time, thedevice needs not to be operational anymore.

We are mounting a THEGon a 6" flowline as a power source for the well control equipment. We expect t orecover about 200watts, for a DTof approx 80 deg C. The wellhead is to be controlled, viaan acoustic link, from the Dunbar platform 5.2km away. The THEG elements we intend to useare bismuth telluride.
