Abstract :
This paper describes the efficient generation of electric power by utilizing the Seebeck effect. The generated power is low, but capable of driving microelectronic devices, which work well with very low power consumption. For a high rate of efficiency, it is important to maintain the temperature difference, which limits the application. We considered several interesting applications that naturally maintain the temperature difference.
