  • Device for converting heat into electrical power
    Patent number: 9255723
    Abstract: A device for converting heat into electrical power. The device comprises a base made of a heat conducting material. The base has a substantially flat bottom surface for being placed onto a flat outside surface of a heat source. At least a thermoelectric generator element is disposed onto a top surface of the base such that a high temperature surface of the thermoelectric generator element is in thermal contact with the top surface of the base. A heat sink structure is in thermal contact with a low temperature surface of the at least a thermoelectric generator element. Electrical circuitry is connected to the at least a thermoelectric generator element for receiving the electrical power therefrom. At least an electrical output port is connected to the electrical circuitry for providing the electrical power.
