Claim:
1. A thermoelectric module, comprising: an outer tube and an inner tube extending in a longitudinal direction and defining circumferential directions, said inner tube disposed within said outer tube forming an interspace therebetween; at least one first strip-shaped structure having a first connection to said inner tube and at least one second strip-shaped structure having a second connection to said outer tube; said first strip-shaped structure starting from said first connection and said second strip-shaped structure starting from said second connection and extending in mutually opposite directions in at least one of said circumferential directions or said longitudinal direction and at least partially forming an overlap at least in said one circumferential direction or in said longitudinal direction, said first strip-shaped structure extending in a direction defining a longest dimension of said first strip-shaped structure, said second strip-shaped structure extending in a direction defining a longest dimension of said second strip-shaped structure; said first strip-shaped structure extending from said inner tube toward said outer tube in the direction defining the longest dimension of said first strip-shaped structure, said second strip-shaped structure extending from said outer tube toward said inner tube in the direction defining the longest dimension of said second strip-shaped structure; and at least one pair of semiconductor elements disposed at said overlap.
