Abstract:
1. A device for generating electrical energy, the device comprising: at least one heated heat-conducting main body; at least one projection attached to said heated heat-conducting main body and delivering a heat output, said at least one projection having at least one of a partial region or a partial portion; a plurality of thermoelectric elements attached laterally to said at least one projection and having a thermoelectric efficiency, said plurality of thermoelectric elements each including respective p-doped and n-doped semiconductor blocks; said at least one projection hindering or aiding heat flux from said at least one projection to said thermoelectric elements to cause the delivery of said heat output to said thermoelectric elements to be proportional to said thermoelectric efficiency of each of said thermoelectric elements; said thermoelectric efficiency of each of said thermoelectric elements and said heat output delivered by said at least one projection being proportional to one another causing homogeneity of the delivery of said heat output to increase; and at least one of: said at least one first or said at least one second heat insulator causing an otherwise inhomogeneous temperature profile of said projection and consequently an inhomogeneous delivery of said heat output to said plurality of thermoelectric elements, due to said heat flux in said projection away from said heated main body, to become homogeneous; and said at least one first and said at least one second heat insulators hindering said heat flux toward said thermoelectric elements.
