CA 2171384

A thermo-electric power generating element has the structure that two kinds of metal sheets or foils 10, 11 being in the relation of thermocouple combination are laminated together and connected at one end and the other end alternatively, so as to form a plurality of thermocouples connected in sereis. When hot junctions 12 are held at a high temperature, a temperature gap along the thermal flux is generated in the sheets or foils 10, 11. Electromotive force at every thermocouple derived from the temperature gap is summed up to a voltage level effective for outputting electric power through takeoff leads 13, 14. This power generator is useful for converting waste heat to electric power. When the thermocouple pile is made from corrugated sheets or foils, electric power is outputted with high efficiency.
