Radiative sky cooling

A natural phenomenon where surfaces facing the sky release heat as thermal radiation into the atmosphere and space. The technology captures this temperature difference to generate electricity.

Thermoelectric Generator

Powered by the captured heat from the fuel cells, this generator contributes to the vehicle's overall energy system.
