Design Of Thermoelectric Generator from Aluminum and Copper Elements

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The abundant heat accompanying the sunlight can be used to generate other forms of energy.Thermoelectric generator are important devices for this kind of means of harnessing the sun energy.A lot of heat are being wasted in industries that have machines that generate heat and in our homes during cooking.Thermoelectric generator is studied in this regard and a sample is designed and simulated for the purpose of utilizing this wasted energy.A temperature difference of up to 200 0 C is found to be generated from a 4mV electric potential by the designed TEG.
