ABSTRACT:
An electricity-producing cell utilizing a foamed multiple thermocouple made of a conductive open-cellular foam matrix, a portion of which forms a first pole with a plurality of discrete conductors of a different material from the foam matrix embedded in the foam having a portion of each of the discrete conductors being exposed on the insides of the cells of the foam forming a plurality of thermocouples with means to contact the discrete conductors to convey current produced by the thermocouples to a second pole with means to heat the discrete conductors, in some embodiments, being radioactive isotopes.
