A Geothermal Power Generator which includes apparatus and method for the in-situ recovery of geothermal energy using thermionic or thermotunnelling converters. These are diode devices which produce electricity when a temperature gradient is applied across them. The electricity thus produced in a downhole environment is conducted to the surface where it can be used as an effective electrical source.
