U.S. company Industrial Nanotech, Inc. is developing a thermal insulation material that can use the temperature differential created by insulation to generate electricity. Industrial Nanotech CEO Stuart Burchill said: “The benefit of a thin sheet of thermal insulation that could be used in the walls or attics of homes or in the walls of commercial buildings and, instead of just helping conserve energy could create energy, is incalculable. The fact that there is almost always, day or night and anywhere in the world, a difference between the temperature inside a building and outside a building gives us an almost constant source of energy generation to tap into.” The article can be viewed online at the link below.
