<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the output of a thermoelectric device from lowering caused by a thermoelectric element under no power generation. <P>SOLUTION: Each of a plurality of thermoelectric units 12 has a thermoelectric element 20, which generates electric power in contact with a heat source. By connecting these thermoelectric units, a power generation circuit is formed. A switch mechanism separates the thermoelectric element 20 of one thermoelectric unit 12 from a power generation circuit according to a contact state between any one of the thermoelectric units 12 and the heat source. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
