摘要: Abstract A small thermoelectric generator to power autonomous sensors in remote environmental sites is studied, designed, realized, characterized, and tested. The phenomena, applied our device, are theoretically introduced experimentally verified by directly measuring the physical quantities when operates working conditions. device then tested under different external conditions, showing that it able supply, for sufficient long time, an output voltage higher than 200 mV on order of 10 mW a temperature difference 10 K load resistance close internal considered. Furthermore we developed devoted conditioning circuit usefully manage voltage. Finally, real operative
