Lonnie Johnson, a “self-invented inventor,” is the brain behind the Super Soaker which has kept countless children occupied over the years during summer in their backyards, and this time around he has come up with a special heat engine known as the Johnson Thermoelectric Energy Converter (JTEC for short) which could revolutionize the energy industry. The JTEC aims to outdo the best solar power systems of today by doing away with all moving parts without producing any waste, doubling the efficiency to make it competitive with coal. Could this be the next best thing since sliced bread and butter? You be the judge when it hits the mass market.
