First Tellurium’s (CSE:FTEL) subsidiary, PyroDelta reports a 10-fold increase in power generated by its prototype thermoelectric generator.
This breakthrough aims to revolutionize the market for portable power solutions, offering enhanced efficiency and reliability for users in emergency situations and outdoor recreational activities. The improved generator leverages cutting-edge thermoelectric materials and innovative design enhancements to achieve this unprecedented performance boost.
“This latest advancement allows us to work on versions that would operate multiple, larger appliances,” First Tellurium’s president and CEO, Tyrone Docherty, said in a news release. “Having proved the concept at smaller scales, we’re confident that larger versions will provide the same advantages while powering more and larger devices for home and recreational use.”
“After experimenting with proprietary combinations of thermoelectric modules, we were amazed by the additional power the new device generated,” PyroDelta’s director of engineering, Michael Abdelmaseh added. “Our goal was to try and bring it up to 100 watts, and the output shot up to 200 watts with these adjustments. This device can power LED lights, charge a cell phone and run a laptop or small USB compact refrigerator for three hours on one small canister. This makes it ideal for emergency and recreational use.”
As a result of ongoing R&D, the original prototype was stated to be able to generate just 20 watts of power earlier this month and can now generate 10 times the power with only a slight increase in weight and size.
The enhanced thermoelectric generator is designed to convert heat directly into electricity, providing a reliable power source without the need for traditional fuel or batteries. This makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, from emergency preparedness to camping and other outdoor activities.
Abdelmaseh also pointed out that that the generator’s size, silence and higher power in colder weather make it ideal for power outages. “Especially for people living in condos or apartments, the generator could operate on a balcony with no complaints from the neighbours about noise and fumes. Recreational users, such as hunters, anglers and campers, will appreciate the portability, quiet and added power under cold conditions.”

PyroDelta Energy’s research and development team has been working to refine the technology, focusing on maximizing efficiency and durability. The latest prototype demonstrates the potential for thermoelectric generators to become a mainstream power solution, offering a clean and efficient alternative to conventional power sources.
Docherty noted that he and Michael Abdelmaseh will present the latest device Oct. 21 at the Top Shelf Partners Commodities Global Expo 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
