Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop a portable thermoelectric power generator that using heat as a main source. The aimed group of this project is a hiker, climber, camper and any sorts them that need a portable power generator that can charge their small electronic gadgets while them doing their activity. The generation of electricity is based on the Seebeck Effect of Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module. TEG module was used to generate electrical energy that operates until a maximum temperature of 230 ºC. The developed power generator is consisting of 1 TEG module, heatsink, boost converter and several important materials. The hot side of the TEG module was mounted on an opposite of the heat source. While the heatsink is installed on the cold side of the module with a cooling fans to provide a forced air cooling. To test the electrical generation of this project, candle is used as a heat source. Meanwhile, a multimeter is used to measure the current and output voltage of this device.
