DEVICE FOR GENERATING CURRENT AND/OR VOLTAGE BASED ON A THERMOELECTRIC MODULE PLACED IN A FLOWING FLUID

摘要

The device for generating current and/or voltage comprises means for making a fluid flow between an inlet (9) and an outlet (10) of the device, and a thermoelectric module (2) having a first active face (11) exposed to the fluid. The thermoelectric module (2) contains apertures and is placed in the path of the fluid between the inlet (9) and the outlet (10) of the device, the first active face (11) being substantially perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid.
