Abstract: A gas burner with thermoelectric unit installed inside the burner head to generate electricity with waste heat energy. Gas flame at the edge of the burner head creates high temperature source (hot side) for the thermoelectric unit. A heat sink is installed inside the burner head and cooled by the fuel mixture. Electricity is generated by the thermoelectric unit when the gas burner is in operation. The electricity generated by the thermoelectric unit can be used to power electric devices.

Abstract: A gas burner generates electricity with waste heat energy. At least one thermoelectric unit is installed underneath the burner cap of the gas burner. Gas flame at the edge of the burner cap creates heat sources (hot side) for the thermoelectric unit. A gas-mixing chamber underneath the thermoelectric unit functions as heat sinks (cold side) for the thermoelectric unit. An insulation plate is inserted in between the thermoelectric unit and the burner cap to control the hot side temperature. The thermoelectric unit generates electricity while the gas burner is in use and the flame heats up the burner cap. The thermoelectric unit connects to an electric circuit and provides electricity to power devices such as electric fans, lights, TVs, battery chargers etc.
