Testing of proposed design of stove-powered thermoelectric generator using natural and forced air cooling

This paper presents the prototype design, implementation and testing of a thermoelectric generator unusually applied to fireplace stoves. The tested low-cost can be used as an alternative low source electricity in areas with limited access public networks. Moreover, inclusion stove structure is novelty interesting accessory offer for customer. study focuses on determining output values voltage current initial design using natural forces air cooling. results are obtained by developed measuring device that testing. provided power 1.5 W at temperature difference 94°C forced Thus suitable powering LED lighting fans or recharging mobile phone battery.
