Abstract

This paper treats TEGS(Thermo-Electric Generation System) by using two different metals which have N and P types of thermo-electric characteristics respectively. Heat source is the thermal energy from the oxidative reaction of methanol and catalyst. Heat sink is an air cooling system (fan and heat sink). 4 TEMS of $40{\times}40mm$ of TEGS with 500ml methanol produce the electric power of maximum 6W and average 5W for 9 hours.
