Conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy and motion

Principle

The thermogenerator (or thermoelectric generator) consists of a block with numerous thermocouples. These thermocouples are electrically connected in series and thermally in parallel so that their thermoelectric voltages are added. With the aid of water baths, the two sides of the thermogenerator can be brought to different temperatures. Thermal energy will be converted into electrical energy. This energy is then used to drive a small motor.

Benefits

• Part of a system solution - Easily expandable for further experiments
• easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
• Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
