    Publication number: 20070119495
    Abstract: A system for producing electrical power a thermoelectric generator including a thermopile, a hot junction, and a cold junction. A high temperature source may be thermally coupled to the hot junction wherein the high temperature source includes heat from within the earth's surface. A low temperature source may be thermally coupled to the cold junction wherein the low temperature source comprises cold water from a body of water. The thermopile generates electricity from a temperature gradient between the hot junction and the cold junction.
