ABSTRACT:
An alkali metal heat engine. A thermoelectric generator which circulates alkali metal through a cationic barrier to produce electricity. The device is capable of operating in a reduced gravity or gravity-free environment and without mechanical pumps because it collects and recirculates the liquid alkali metal with capillary wick structures. One capillary wick moves the alkali metal from the cooler side of the barrier to the hotter side, and another wick is used as a bypass structure to recirculate the undiffused alkali metal back to the heat source.
