dissipation and is defined as the ratio between the mechanical energy accumulated and dissipated per vibration cycle. Under liquids environments, the quality factor shifts toward much lower values than in air, due to the damping effect of the viscous surroundings, which decrease abruptly the overall sensitivity. For that reason, this way of operation is more difficult to implement and, until rece

The boys eyes snap open.
Jacob glances around nervously. He looks like an escaped
convict who just accidentally walked into the Policemens
Ball. A GREYHAIRED MAN two seats away from him gives the
teenager a cursory glance, then goes back to his book. Jacob
lays his head back and tries to relax. The engines continue
to drone.

Lower coefficient of performance than vapor-compression systems.
Relegated to low heat flux applications.
More total heat to remove than without a TEC.

Silent and endless. The stars shine like the love of God... cold and remote. Against them drifts a tiny chip of technology.
CLOSER SHOT
It is the NARCISSUS, lifeboat of the ill-fated star-freighter Nostromo. Without interior or running lights it seems devoid of life. The PING of a RANGING RADAR grows louder, closer. A shadow engulfs the Narcissus. Searchlights flash on, playing over the tiny ship
