Abstract

In this study, a flexible thermoelectric power generator has been proposed. The proposed thermoelectric power generator is composed of a Ni-Cu thermopile on a polymer sheet, and heat sink and heat absorber sheets. The flexible thermoelectric power generator has 60 mm-length, 45 mm-width and 3 mm-height. The flexible thermoelectric power generator may be possible to apply on a free form surface. As a result of characteristic evaluation, Seebeck voltage of 15.4 /spl mu/V/K per thermocouple was obtained, and a prospect for practical application was confirmed.
