Abstract

Thermal energy is a source of energy produced when matter is heated, which makes the molecules of the matter vibrate faster. The higher temperature, the higher the thermal energy will be produced. Seebeck Effect concept defines that, when there is a different in temperature from each side of matters, electrical energy can be produced. This project conducted by Husna (2015), had two problems; the current produced is not being stored and output voltage and current is too small (28.2mA). Therefore, this project is to overcome problems in the previous project such as energy storage compartment and a very low output result. The current and voltage must be improved to be used for a small electronic devices or appliances. A small rechargeable battery such as lead acid battery, lithium ion or nickel cadmium should be used to store the electrical energy generated. Output current or voltage can be step up to optimum value and can be used to power up the small electronic device. Expected output is 5V voltage and 1A current.
