Sitting in a warm room reduces the power available from thermocouples.

处于温暖的房间中会减少热电偶产生的可用能量。

It's incredibly lightweight, an exceptional conductor of heat and electricity and it's more than 100 times stronger than steel.

而且重量轻到令人难以置信, 而且是热电的优质导体，甚至比钢强100倍。

Russian investigators have detained three managers of the Norilsk power plant in Siberia on suspicion of breaching environmental protection regulations.

俄罗斯调查人员以涉嫌违反护规定为由，拘留了西伯利亚诺里尔斯克热电厂的三名经理。

Massively increase the amount of money you're spending on a single geothermal power plant.

大幅增加你在单个地热电站上的支出。

These two thermocouples are series connected .

这两个热电偶是串联的.

So it's either a thermocouple that's corroded or we have a short.

所以要么是一个被腐蚀的热电偶, 要么我有一个短路。

Today, you learned about how engines turn thermal energy into work and how to calculate their efficiency.

今天，您了解了电机如何转换能量 热电偶的工作原理以及如何计的有效性。

Raman's team has developed a potential solution: a simple thermoelectric device that generates power when it's exposed to the cold night sky.

一种暴露在寒冷的夜空就能发电的简单热电设备。

The second is to choose a thermoelectric material which conducts heat badly (so that different parts remain at different temperatures) but electricity well.

第二是选择的热电材料的导热性差（这样不同部分就能持不同的温度）但是导电性良好。

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。

Internally, the tower features a 1.2-megawatt cogen system that contributes to heating and cooling requirements; while floor-to-ceiling windows and column-free floor plates maximise natural light, reducing the extent of artificial lighting needed during the day.

在内部，塔楼具有 1.2 兆瓦的热电系统，有助于满足供暖和制冷需求，而落地窗和无柱地板最大限度地利用自然光，减少白天所需的人工照明。

So it turns out that there is an industry that is perfectly positioned to take us from the few geothermal power plants we have today to the hundreds of thousands that we need to meet demand.

结果发现，有一个产业，定位非常理想，可以把我从仅有几座地热电厂的现况带到我满足需求所需要的数十万座电厂。

While the scientific accuracy of  this story has since been debunked, the concept is largely the same as that behind  South Africa's largest renewable energy project - the 250-metre-tall, 6.5sqkm  Redstone Solar Thermal Power Plant.

虽然此故事的科学准确性已被揭穿，但其概念与南非最大的可再生能源项目——250 米高、6. 5 平方公里的红石太阳能热电厂背后的概念基本相同。
