Abstract
An apparatus includes a base, one or more first fins, one or more second fins and one or more thermoelectric generation units. The base may be thermally couplable to an electrical module that generates heat while operational. The first fins may be thermally connected to the base. The second fins may be thermally isolated from the base. The thermoelectric generation units may be (i) disposed between the first fins and the second fins and (ii) configured to convert a heat difference between the first fins and the second fins into an electrical signal at a port thereby cooling the electrical module.
