During these periods of "sleep," New Horizons is powered by a single radioisotope thermoelectric generator and USES less power than a pair of 100-watt household light bulbs.

在这些“睡眠”时期中，新视野号仅仅靠一台放射性同位素热电发生器驱动，而它的耗能还不及一制10 0瓦的家用电灯泡。

The two-year solar Soldier project aims to produce a power pack where energy is gathered from a combination of solar cells and thermoelectric devices before it is stored for later use.

这个为期两年的太阳能战士项目旨在制造一种能源包，能从一种太阳电池和热电的复合装置中收集能量并储存起来以备之后使用。

These two properties define what physicists call the "figure of merit" of a thermoelectric substance, which describes the power a device made of that substance could generate.

这两种属性决定着热电材料的“品质因数”。“品质因数”是用来描述用热电材料所制成的元器件的输出功率的单位。

Dr Kanatzidis argues that wherever heat is generated as part of power generation, thermoelectric devices could help extract more useful energy.

Similarly, attaching thermoelectric devices to the flues of power plants could generate more useful power.

This is a plutonium-driven device that produces power far more efficiently than the traditional Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) used hitherto on space missions, such as on Cassini.
