Abstract
A honeycomb sandwich structure includes a main body portion having a first skin material, a second skin material, and a honeycomb core sandwiched between the first skin material and the second skin material, and a thermoelectric conversion module that generates power using a temperature difference between a high temperature side module front surface and a low temperature side module rear surface. The thermoelectric conversion module is embedded in a main body portion such that at least one of the module front surface and the module rear surface is in a state being exposed from the main body portion, and as a result, a temperature difference is generated between the module front surface and the module rear surface.
