A thermogenerator with a first electrical voltage source ( 20 ) having a first voltage output ( 30 ) and a second electric voltage source ( 40 ) having a second voltage output ( 50 ). The first electrical voltage source ( 20 ) is formed of a first thermoelectric element ( 25 ), and a third voltage output ( 60 ) is provided, coupled to the first voltage output ( 30 ) and the second voltage output ( 50 ). A method is disclosed for the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy, in which electrical voltage is generated by a first thermoelectric element ( 25 ), and where voltage is generated at least some of the time by means of a second voltage source ( 40 ), and where, by means of a converter circuit ( 150 ), the electric voltage from the first thermoelectric element ( 25 ) is converted to a higher voltage level.
