This thermoelectric generator is provided with a heat conducting body (1) which can exchange heat with the environment according to temperature changes in the environment, a heat storing body (2), and a thermoelectric conversion unit (3) and thermal resistance body (6) arranged between the heat conducting body and the heat storing body. One end (6a) of the thermal resistance body and one end (3a) of the thermoelectric conversion unit are in contact with each other, the other end (6b) of the thermal resistance body is in contact with the heat conducting body and the other end (3b) of the thermoelectric conversion unit is in contact with the heat storing body (2), and the surface of the heat storing body (2) is covered by a covering layer (4) having a certain heat insulation properties. The temperature difference generated between the heat conducting body and the heat storing body is utilized to extract electric energy from the thermoelectric conversion unit. |
