<p>A thermoelectric generator includes a first metal layer (102) and an electron pool (108) that is heated by the first metal layer and emits thermally excited electrons. A capacitor (204) receives the thermally excited electrons at a first terminal. A thermal barrier (106) between the electron pool and the capacitor permits the thermally excited electrons to cross but inhibits heat transfer from the first metal layer to the capacitor.</p> |
