ABSTRACT:
A thermoelectric generator includes a plurality of thermoelectric junctions embedded in each of a pair of thermally conductive and electrically non-conductive layers, these layers being separated by a thermally and electrically non-conductive layer. The junctions are connected to form a thermopile. An absorbent layer is provided adjacent one of the thermally conductive layers. A liquid such as water is applied to the absorbent layer, so that evaporation of the liquid from the absorbent layer enhances the temperature differential between the two thermally conductive layers.
