- W80603295 abstract "With potential efficiencies of up to 40%, AMTEC technology offers reliability and fuel flexibility for aerospace and ground power applications. Alkali Metal Thermal to Electric Conversion (AMTEC), a direct power-conversion technology, is emerging from the laboratory for use in a number of applications that require lightweight, long-running, efficient power systems. AMTEC is compatible with many heat and fuel sources, and it offers the reliability of direct (that is, no moving parts) thermal to electric conversion. These features make it an attractive technology for small spacecraft used in deep-space missions and for ground power applications, such as self-powered furnaces and the generators used in recreational vehicles. Researchers at Ford Scientific Laboratories, in Dearborn, Michigan, first conceived AMTEC technology in 1968 when they identified and patented a converter known as the sodium heat engine. This heat engine was based on the unique properties of {beta}-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE), a ceramic material that is an excellent sodium ion conductor but a poor electronic conductor. BASE was used to form a structural barrier across which a sodium concentration gradient could be produced from thermal energy. The engine provided a way to isothermally expand sodium through the BASE concentration gradient without moving mechanical components. Measuredmore » power density and calculated peak efficiencies were impressive, which led to funding from the Department of Energy for important material technology development.« less" @default.
