Industry:Energy
A semiconductor produced by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with an electron-donor impurity (e.g., phosphorous in silicon).
Industry:Energy
A semiconductor in which holes carry the current; produced by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with an electron acceptor impurity (e.g., boron in silicon).
Industry:Energy
A semiconductor (photovoltaic) material composed of variously oriented, small, individual crystals.
Industry:Energy
A self-contained toilet that use the process of aerobic decomposition (composting) to break down feces into humus and odorless gases.
Industry:Energy
A seal used to prevent the leakage of fluids, and also maintain the pressure in an enclosure.
Industry:Energy
A salt, sodium sulfate decahydrate, that melts at 90 degrees Fahrenheit; a component of eutectic salts that can be used for storing heat.
Industry:Energy
A safety device consisting of a short length of relatively fine wire, mounted in a holder or contained in a cartridge and connected as part of an electrical circuit. If the circuit source current exceeds a predetermined value, the fuse wire melts (i.e. the fuse 'blows') breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the circuit protected by the fuse.
Industry:Energy
A room that faces south (in the northern hemisphere), or a small structure attached to the south side of a house.
Industry:Energy
