<p>A thermoelectric generator using catalytic combustion heat of fuel gas as a heat source, has a construction wherein a thermoelectric element (1) or a planar electric generation unit comprising thermoelectric elements has a construction held between the thermal input part (3) and the heat radiation part (2), having fuel gas supply means and means for mixing fuel gas with air, and having a structure that the combustion heat can be directly supplied to the thermoelectric element by burning the mixed gas of fuel with air in a catalyst part arranged in said thermal input part, said thermal input part having a heat conductive end plate (6) and a catalyst part (7) which are in contact with the thermoelectric element, the face opposite to said thermoelectric element of said heat conductive end plate having a structure of convex and concave configuration, and said catalyst part being constituted in said convex and concave configuration surface.</p> |
