By some measures, of all the energy used today over 60% is being lost as waste heat. Beakon Technologies is putting a patented Swedish breakthrough physical invention in the field of thermoelectric to use for the benefit of sustainable human life by helping the world convert waste heat, wherever it occurs, back into useful electric energy. The technology can also be applied to more energy efficient cooling and heating, replacing compressors wherever they are used. In today's society the energy consumption is ever increasing and it becomes paramount to use the energy as efficient as possible. Today they only use 1/3 of the energy, the rest becomes waste heat. The current solutions are based on non renewable natural resources that besides quickly draining also have a very negative environmental impact on their world. It is consequently vital for scientists to develop a sustainable energy system based on the sun, inner inertia and the movement of the earth. Beakon's innovation, a cooling and energy chip, is an important contribution in the quest for a sustainable energy system. The chip can with its high efficiency convert heat energy to electric energy and thereby converts the waste heat into useful electric energy. The chip can also be used as a heat pump. There are many applications for a thermoelectric chip with efficiency equivalent to today's compressors, but with advantages such as form factor, reliability, silent, environmentally friendly and simplicity to stabilize temperatures. The uniqueness of the core technology of Beakon Technologies is that it addresses the greatest problem of today's thermoelectric elements (Peltier element), the low efficiency. There are two competing heat carrying processes; one being the desired flow of electrons transporting heat in the intended direction and the other being the undesirable flow of phonons in the opposite direction which increases proportionally to how hard the Peltier element tries to pump electrons in the desired direction. The Beakon Technologies element contains a nano-scale 'phonon trap', which hinders phonons creating the competing flow. Calculations show that the Beakon Technologies element has the potential of delivering 8-10 times higher energy efficiency than the Peltier elements of today, and comparable efficiency to today's compressors.
