Abstract:
1. A thermal concentrator comprised of a channel between the hot side to the cold side, wherein said thermal concentrator is comprised of a surface nanocomposite coating having nanoscale particles less than 100 nanometers creating a path having reduced thermal resistance and a multi-layer nanoscale channel wherein at least one layer through the channel connecting a hot side to the cold side is less than 100 nanometers for directional control of the axial flow of electrons or thermal energy within said channel and wherein said channel is further comprised of alternating layers selected from at least two layers from the group consisting of positive electrical potential electrode, negative electrical potential electrode, piezoelectric film, intrinsically piezoelectric film, electron or wave propagation film, acoustic coupling film, acoustic mixing film, and thermal barrier film.
