ABSTRACT:
A thermionic energy converter comprises an emitter, a transparent collector support generally parallel to an emitting surface of the emitter, a conductive film collector from about 10 to about 3,000 Angstroms in thickness covering a support surface of the collector support, and an enclosure for maintaining a controlled atmosphere in the gap between the conductive film collector and the emitting surface. According to another embodiment an improvement is set forth in a thermionic energy converter comprising an emitter, a collector and an enclosure adapted to maintain a controlled atmosphere in the emitter-collector gap. The improvement comprises an insulator post supportingly attaching the emitter and the collector. The embodiments are advantageously used together.
