<p>The device (1) has a thermocouple (4) i.e. Peltier element, thermally connected with upper surfaces (2, 3). Electric voltage is formed at the thermocouple at temperature difference between the surfaces. A connecting part (5) comprises expanded graphite and/or pressed graphite and connects the surfaces with the thermocouple. Basal planes of the graphite are aligned perpendicular to the surfaces. The thermocouple and/or lines and/or insulators are sintered on the connecting part. One of the surfaces is connected with a pipe i.e. corrugated pipe. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for manufacturing a device for generating electrical power by temperature gradients (2) a method for generating electrical power by temperature gradients.</p> |
