Abstract
Effect of heat pipes is described for suppressing heat leakage of the thermoelectric generator, which is used as the power source of energy harvesting. The experimental results show that the heat pipes are effective in suppressing heat leakage even if the temperature difference was small. By increasing the number of heat pipes, the output of thermoelectric generation was stable during the experiment.
