ABSTRACT:
A first conductive member and a second conductive member having different Seebeck coefficients are joined together by a joining member to form a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements, and these thermoelectric conversion elements are disposed in at least two different temperature environments. The first conductive members of respective thermoelectric conversion elements or the second conductive members thereof are connected to each other by an electric wiring to form a direct energy conversion electric circuit system, and electric potential energy is picked up from an arbitrary portion on this electric wiring. Accordingly, the direct energy conversion electric circuit system from thermal energy to electric energy is formed. A water electrolyzer is disposed in the passage of the circuit system in which the first conductive members or second conductive members having connected respective thermoelectric conversion elements are connected to thereby able to convert thermal energy into chemical energy and sore it.
