A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that converts heat energy directly into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. This effect involves the direct conversion of temperature differences into electric voltage and is based on two main phenomena: the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect. ### Key Components and Principles: 1. **Seebeck Effect**: This is the principle that underlies thermoelectric generators.
