Abstract

A thermoelectric generator module and methods for constructing the thermoelectric generator module are described herein. The thermoelectric generator module includes: a plurality of thermoelectric plates located on the surface of the heat absorbing member; and a heat dissipation area enclosing the heat absorbing member. The thermoelectric modules are connected in series with other thermoelectric generator modules to facilitate power generation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a thermoelectric generator module that facilitates efficient power generation. Background technique [0002] Thermoelectric materials offer a promising solid-state solution for clean energy applications. Thermoelectric generators (or thermoelectric generators) employ thermoelectric materials to convert thermal energy directly into electrical energy using the thermoelectric effect. Thermoelectric generators are less expensive to construct than conventional solar panels for capturing the same amount of energy. However, thermoelectric generators have so far failed to significantly impact large-scale energy production except in niche applications due to the lack of efficient and inexpensive thermoelectric modular designs. [0003] The background above is intended only to provide an overview of background information related to thermoelectric generators and is not intended to be exhaustive. Additional context w...
