using high quality thermoelectric materials in a thermopile arrangement, to maximize the extracted power. Though not particularly efficient, these generators have the advantage of not having any moving parts.

Peltier effect

When an electric current is passed through a circuit of a thermocouple, heat is generated (dumped, pumped) at one junction and absorbed at the other junction. This is known as the Peltier effect: the presence of
