AC VOLTAGE CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01L35/28 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to electric engineering, in particular, to converters of alternating current voltage. The AC voltage converter consists of an ohmic area to which alternating-current voltage is supplied through the insulation region connected with a good thermal contact to a thermoelectric structure, from which direct voltage is collected. At that a heat source made as a continuous flow vessel with geothermal water is coupled to the surface of the ohmic region opposite to the region contacting the thermoelectric structure, and surface of the thermoelectric structure opposite to the region contacting to the ohmic region is coupled to a heat accumulator made as a container with melting working agent.

EFFECT: increased value of direct voltage generated by the device.
