NOVELTY - A thermal energy transmitting device comprises a thermal energy transmitting material designed to cover a terrestrial object and positioned with a transmitting surface facing deep space such that fluid communication between them consists of deep space and the transmitting surface. The transmitting material has spectral surface properties of high emissivity in a spectral band transparent to the atmosphere of the earth.    USE - For radiating/transmitting thermal energy from a terrestrial position/object into deep space; useful in electricity generating device useful in an environment having an ambient pressure (claimed) and useful in nighttime solar cell.    ADVANTAGE - The device transmits s very large percentage of thermal pollution from atmosphere to the deep space, alleviating the effects of thermal pollution. Using the reduced pressure cell enables the elimination of the insulation, thereby reducing the overall system weight and cost, while providing a more effective insulation of the photovoltaic cells and allowing the thermoelectric generator to operate at a higher daytime temperature to improve its performance. The various cascading schemes and module designs improve temperature differentials between the hot and cold junctions, improving the power producing capability of the vacuum pods. The improved overall strength between the hot and cold junction support plates, allow for thinner, longer p-n elements. The combination of a power panel with the vacuum pod array construction back-to-back with a photovoltaic cell array, increase significantly the electrical power output of a given panel area, tremendously improving the state of the art of electrical energy production possible from a given area. The improved spectral properties of the aperture window, enhances the operation of the vacuum pod. The nighttime solar cell can be reduced to a single component, the cold junction plate, and be used to radiate thermal waste energy created by man from objects on the surface of the earth into deep space in a more economical, convenient, accessible way to more people. The area ratios between the hot and cold junction plates as well as the thermoelectric generator element areas can be augmented to improve system performance.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The thermal energy transmitting material is configured and removably positioned to remove waste heat created by man proximate and external the object via at least one of conduction and convection thermal energy transfer thereby reducing thermal pollution from the terrestrial position into deep space. The material comprises a suspension of a spectral substance in a polymeric base. The spectral substance is selected from the group consisting of carbon black acetylene soot, camphor soot, zinc sulfide, silver chloride, potassium chloride, and zinc selenide. The material comprises a coating that reflects incoming thermal infrared electromagnetic energy. The object is located between about an altitude of flying aircraft and about the surface of the earth. The removal of the waste heat created by man proximate and external the object includes radiation thermal energy transfer.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an electricity generating device for use in an environment having an ambient pressure by using two junctions at different temperatures from each other to produce a thermoelectric potential.
