PocketLab Voyager: Investigating Thermoelectric Generators & The Seebeck Effect
A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that converts temperature differences directly into electrical energy. In the past several years, there has been a great deal of research in the use of TEGs to recover electrical energy from waste heat produced in a variety of systems. As a result of this research, the study of thermoelectric generators in physics and engineering curricula is well worth including in NGSS-based coursework.
