1·The trick to a good thermoelectric material is a crystal structure in which electrons can flow freely.
制造一种好的热电材料的关键是，需要一种电子可以自由流动的晶体结构。
2·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。
3·Then, the exhaust heat from the bottom plate of the thermoelectric device would be used in the traditional way to warm water up.
其次，从热电设备中位于底部的薄片中出来的排气可以用于传统方式来加热水。
4·They suggest that a phenomenon called the thermoelectric effect might be used instead—and they have built a prototype to show that the idea is practical.
他们提出可以利用一种名为热电效应的现象——而且还建立了一个模型来证明这个想法的可行性。
5·And thermoelectric devices could be used in other areas. They could work alongside solar cells and solar heating systems.
热电装置还可以用于其他领域，比如太阳能电池和太阳能加热系统。
