Abstract: This paper presents the investigation of power generation using the combination of heat and thermo-electric generators. A majority of thermal energy in the industry is dissipated as waste heat to the environment. This waste heat can be utilized further for power generation. The related problems of global warming and dwindling fossil fuel supplies has led to improving the efficiency of any industrial process being a priority. One method to improve the efficiency is to develop methods to utilize waste heat that is usually wasted. Two promising technologies that were found to be useful for this purpose were thermoelectric generators and heat pipes. Therefore, this project involved making a bench type, proof of concept model of power production by thermoelectric generators using heat pipes and simulated hot air. In recent years, global warming and the limitations in use of energy resources increase environmental issues of emissions. Also In industry, most of the expenses are due to energy (both electrical and thermal), labour and materials. Yet, out of them vitality would identify with the sensibility of the expense or potential cost investment funds and therefore vitality the board will help in cost decrease. The possibilities of thermoelectric systems
