help me to my study my personal research pls.science people' i give 10 pts. to the right one'''what kind of metal is suitable for heat collectors and is there an available heat converter that converts heat to electricity an apparatus, not solar''i mean how much electricity can a metal fork re-converted by burning a piece of metal do i have to use to kinds of fork or 2 fork to distinguish positive and negative,thanks science people i hope you can help me with this experiments of mine remember my success is your sucess"my fellow countrymen,and them the world i hope this will be a sucess'' thanks''

To get electricity directly from heat you could use an array of thermocouples or a thermo-electric cooler (these are available comercially. They are normally used in the reverse sense: applying direct current; one side gets cold and the other side gets hot). But, I believe you could artificially heat one side and/or cool the other, and get a direct current output. I have never tried this, but I think it would work; I don't know how efficient the process would be. In reference to heat collectors, if you mean a way to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto something else; highly polished aluminum would work well. If you mean using metal to conduct heat from one place to another; copper is better. The last part, about a metal fork; I don't understand; is there is some kind of translation problem or tyopgraphical error? I hope this is of help to you.

Brass would be better than aluminum. It conducts heat better than aluminum.
