PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric generator which enables early warming-up of an internal combustion engine and thermoelectric generation by using a simple structure at low costs.SOLUTION: In a thermoelectric generator 17, a heat transfer member 51, which may move between a heat transfer position where an exhaust pipe part 31 and a coolant pipe 34 are thermally connected with each other and a non heat transfer position where the exhaust pipe part 31 is not thermally connected with the coolant pipe 34, is disposed between the exhaust pipe part 31 and the coolant pipe 34. A switching member 56 switches the heat transfer member 51 between the heat transfer position and the non heat transfer position on the basis of the warming up state of an engine 1. |
