HKU Engineering team invents novel Direct Thermal Charging Cell for Converting low-grade waste heat to usable electricity

(The University of Hong Kong) Dr Tony Shien-Ping Feng of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and his team invented a Direct Thermal Charging Cell (DTCC) which can effectively convert heat to electricity, creating a huge potential to reduce greenhouse effects by capturing exhaust heat and cutting down primary energy wastage.
