TL;DR: In this article, the basic concepts of the thermoelectric and discusses its recent material researches about the figure of merit are discussed, and the recent applications of the thermal generator, including the structure optimization, low temperature recovery, the heat resource and its application area.

TL;DR: In this article, a solar concentrating thermoelectric generator using the micro-channel heat pipe array was designed, and the mathematical model was built, and a comparison of the experiment and the simulation between the SCEG generator and the micro channel heat pipe arrays was made. And the performance on the different areas of selective absorbing coating, different concentration ratios, different ambient temperatures, different wind speed all were analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the models of thermoelectric generators in series connection and parallel connection, and series of experiments were made to verify the rationality of the model, and the discussion based on the model was conducted to optimize the output power.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a wearable thermoelectric generation system which is applied to a helmet, which involves the use of the relatively high temperature difference between the local effect of the head skin and the ambient to generate electricity for powering the LEDs.
