Abstract
Thermoelectric technology may provide an alternative to traditional methods of power generation, heating and cooling. A small amount of electrical power can be generated by a thermoelectric module if a temperature difference is maintained between two terminals, or can operate as a heat pump, providing heating or cooling of an object connected to one side of the module.
