High Merit Thermoelectrics (HMTE) is a thermoelectric (TE) device manufacturing company who offer devices that include an innovative, patent-pending material, called YMS, that out-performs competing materials, nearly quadrupling device efficiency. Our devices are long-lasting, compact, environmentally benign power sources that directly convert heat into electrical energy and can be utilized world-wide. Anywhere heat is produced, whether intentional or as a waste product of another process, our devices can be used to produce electricity.

Although thermoelectric devices (TE) have been in use for 30-40 years, their useful applications have been limited due to low levels of efficiency. The technology was promising, and did well in certain applications, but energy was cheap and the efficiencies were low. HMTE manufactures TE power generating devices constructed with an innovative, patent-pending material that breaks a two-decade stagnation in materials development.
