How does a thermoelectric generator work

Thermoelectric Generator or a Seebeck generator works via a heat transfer though a material to convert 'heat' into electricity.

A thermoelectric generator also known as a TEG, is a solid state device that converts heat flux (temperature differences) directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck or Peltier effect which is a form of thermoelectric effect.

this type of generator is being used by NASA and the Martian Rovers to power without the uses of solar panels, because of how inefficient they are!

Can we have detailed instructions on making possible this experiment

[chhoc]

you have in no way explained the concept; you have simply pointed to an "electrical gizmo" the does it. your green screen... dude, maybe make a bit more effort in your pursuits?

[renatoalmaguer]

Where did you bought the peace of metal?

[mushfiqkhan]

Thanks for the experiment. Can you please measure the voltage and current generated in the ther….tric device?

[ShortVs]

Hello sir...can we create this device but for a large factory??

Is it possible to make a wood stove equipped with thermoelectric elements, and would it then produce any useful amount of electicity?

[Loo]

Nice!! Super cool, do you how I can make one or where I can buy one?

You know if this subject ever popped up on Cody's lab he'd not only explain how it worked but how to recreate it for yourself within the boundaries of YouTube policy, for instance you didn't tell us what that piece of superconducting material and because of this I'll just have to find someone one else

[arnoldkiruai]

which type of metal is that you are using

[tthr]

ok, still dont know how it works, just what it dous is in this video

What in the world is going on with electrical ideas? Wind, solar-cells, batteries are getting lots and lots of experimental money. So, where is the thermocouple big bucks for such a simple technology? Several thermoelectric articles are over 10 years old. Solid State TC arrays are easy to mass produce in the factories. 😎 Thank you.

no science in this !! unless you reveal the science
